NOTE:
1.
Poles are not supplied (purchase locally to above specifications) and must be field drilled 5/8” diameter
for M10 #3 rebar, drilled 5.55 mm
(.218”) for 1/4-20 self tapping grounding screw and galvanized or painted for protection.
2.
Pole and foundation design based on the following criteria:
a.
Uniform building code Exposure B or C wind loading.
b.
Vertical soil pressure of 13790 kPa (2000 pounds per square foot).
c.
Lateral soil pressure of 2758 kPa (400 pounds per square foot).
d.
Concrete compressive strength of 17.2 MPa (2500 pounds per square inch) in 28 days.
3.
See page 6 for grounding recommendations.
CAUTION:
The foundation design shown does not represent an appropriate design for any specific locality. Soil conditions vary and may
not meet design criteria given in Note 2. Consult a local professional engineer to determine your soil conditions and appropriate foundation.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Installing Az/El Cap Mount Onto Pole
The az/el cap is factory pre assembled. No assembly is required. Before installing az/el cap onto pole, installation mount should be in place.
Loosen (3) az/el locking nuts on pipe clamp. Install az/el cap onto pole. If using 2 7/8” ground pole, ensure that the inner sleeve is inserted
and that the open side is aligned with the open side of the pipe clamp (see Bottom View). If using 3.00” ground pole, remove inner sleeve on
pipe clamp and discard it. Position the az/el cap in approximate azimuth setting and equally tighten (3) clamp nuts so that cap is held
stationary on pole, but can be swiveled with slight pressure. Tighten to approximately 2.7 N-m (2 ft-lb ).
