The CM375 is a corrosion-resistant 10 m (30 ft) mast for applications requiring a tall yet portable instrument mount. It can support sensors, an environmental enclosure, a solar panel, and an antenna. Sensors ;are attached to the CM375 mast via mounts such as the CM202, CM204, and CM206 crossarms. To reinforce the mount, the CM375 is guyed at 3.7 m (12 ft) and 7.3 m (24 ft) heights. Duck-bill anchors and the guy-wire tensioning kit ensure proper guying.

Guy Configuration | Three guy cables at two levels. Guyed at 3.6 m (12 ft) and at 7.2 m (24 ft). |
Recommended Guy Wire Pretension |
45.4 kg (100 lb) each Check and adjust guy wire tension at least once a month, and after wind gusts exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph). |
Wind Gust |
136 km/h (85 mph) The wind gust value assumes: (1) proper installation; (2) adequate soil for guy anchors/base support; (3) guy anchors at 6.1 m [20 ft] from base with 120° of separation; (4) guy tension of 45.4 kg [100 lb] each; (5) no ice buildup; and (6) standard air quality or wind assessment configuration [see table in manual]. The amount of wind gust that this mount can withstand is affected by quality of anchoring and installation, guy wire tension, soil type, guy angle, and the number, type, and location of instruments fastened to the CM375. |
