The mechanism is fixed. You cannot adjust the length of the mounting frame.

When mounting MD30 on the rear, Vaisala recommends that you mount the air temperature and humidity sensor HMP113 on the side of the vehicle away from exhaust gas and engine heat. For that purpose, you can order MD30EXTSET. When using MD30REARKIT or MD30REARMOUNT with MD30EXTSET:

  • Remove HMP113 from MD30.
  • Mount MD30REARKIT or MD30REARMOUNT.
  • Mount HMP113 as instructed in Mounting Temperature Sensors Separately Installation Guide.
