Section 2. Deploying the LI-710
Vertical pipe and T-post
For a stand-alone installation, the LI-710 can be attached to a T-post and vertical
mast, like a piece of pipe. The LI-710 can attach to a pipe using a swivel mount, or
the post can be installed inside a pipe that has an inside diameter >1 inch (2.54 cm)
and a means to secure the post (Figure 2-11 below).
If you are using a T-post in soft or saturated soils, check the installation regularly to
ensure that the post does not shift over time.
Figure 2-11. Secure the LI-710 mounting post to a pipe or tube using a swivel mount or
another method.
