Mechanical specifications
Antenna diameter 1.0m (39.8in)
Aluminum alloy 60/60 T.I.G. welded (
Tungsten Inert Gas
)
Tubular elements Ø 50 x 2mm thickness (1.9in x 0.08in)
All stainless steel hardware and support pin
Stainless steel mounting clamp for a mast of Ø 50÷ 60mm (2.0in – 2.3in)
Net/gross weight 16/26kg (26.5lbs/57.3lbs)
Windload 0.25m2 (2.7ft2)
Maximum wind velocity supported 161km/h (100mph)
Force exerted on antenna by wind of 129km/h (80.15mph) = 240 N
Maximum flexibility on the antenna base anchoring point to a metal mast Ø 6cm
(2.36in) height 3.0m (9.84in) = 720 N/m
Note : C.E.I. regulations require the installation of wind-guys for areas of high wind with
possible ice formation (in this case NON metallic guys)
