Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting Instructions
This section explains how to mount the Tropos 1410 on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is best to
mount the unit to aluminum or galvanized steel structures. The mounting brackets are designed
to pierce any oxidation layers that are on the outside of the pole, thereby assuring good quality
connection to the grounded structure.
Due to potential antenna obstruction issues, the Tropos 1410 is not designed to be directly
mounted on a building wall. If it is necessary to mount the unit on a wall, follow the instructions
for mounting on a wooden pole (
on page 23), and attempt to mount the
unit with maximum possible clearance around the antennas.
Note
The Tropos 1410 should always be mounted with the top of the unit horizontal and level and with the
antennas facing upward.
Note
Mounting to wood, concrete, or painted poles may require primary grounding for the unit. Check the
national electrical codes in your area for specific rules.
