Instruction Manual
Thank you for your purchase of the Larson Electronics
LMP-FG-50-9.5-TH1-NB-M1
.
WARNING:
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING FIXTURE. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
CRITICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
•
INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY BE CONDUCTED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEC AND ANY
RELEVANT LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
•
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK. FIXTURE INSTALLATION REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF
FIXTURE'S
ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS. IF NOT QUALIFIED, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
•
BE CERTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE AND DURING INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.
•
MAKE SURE THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS THE SAME AS THE
FIXTURE'S
RATED VOLTAGE.
•
TO PREVENT WIRING DAMAGE OR ABRASION, DO NOT EXPOSE WIRING TO EDGES OF SHEET METAL OR SHARP
OBJECTS. SUITABLE FOR DAMP LOCATIONS.
The LMP-FG-50-9.5-TH1-NB-M1 from Larson Electronics is a telescoping fiberglass pole to raise equipment above a work site or other
environment. The telescoping pole is constructed from lightweight fiberglass and is equipped with a top mounting plate with a 24"
aluminum T-head that can support equipment such as antennas, radios, and cameras. This telescoping fiberglass pole provides
excellent corrosion resistance and UV resistance. This push up pole stands 9.5 feet tall when fully collapsed and can reach heights up
to 50 feet when fully extended.
USEAGE TIPS:
You can install the mast in the tripod with the tripod in either the vertical or horizontal orientation.
Loosen the top and bottom clamping collars and slide the mast through.
For additional stability, the feet of the tripod have a hole in them. This is so you can use a large
diameter spike to hammer into the ground, use an auger type twist anchor, or even concrete anchors.
Some will also place bags of sand or even bags of concrete over the feet when using in rough
environments.
Avoid letting the bottom of the mast come into contact with dirt or sand (to avoid contaminants getting
in the close tolerances between the sleeving tube section). A small wood block of 2x4 or plywood
beneath the bottom of the mast will do the job.
POWER LINE CAUTIONS
Even though your new mast is a non-conductor, (and as a result is MUCH safer in many applications than
metal masts)
do not get a false sense of security if near power lines.
Remember that even if you use the
non-conductive Dacron guy ropes and our guy rings that we recommend, (which are also non-conductive) the
items that you are supporting (such as wires, metal antennas, cameras and control cables, and coaxial cables
and wire feed lines) ARE conductive. If these components of your installation come in contact with power lines,
they can KILL. The insulation on coax cable or most control cables is only rated for a few hundred volts, and
you may find THOUSANDS of volts present on power lines. DO NOT INSTALL IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
POWER LINES. Should a power line somehow come in contact with any part of your installation, always
consider it to be energized, and dangerous. Do not touch any part of your installation and call the power
company immediately for help.
