This procedure will provide the greatest possible margin for snow accumulation.
However this will NOT provide optimum system performance under normal
conditions.
Post mounting and grounding
Each transmitter and receiver is mounted on a 7.6 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) steel post,
depending on the hardware supplied. Each post is installed in a concrete base
that is at least 61 cm (24 in.) in diameter and 91 cm (36 in.) deep, OR 15 cm (6
in.) below the frost line, whichever is greater. The microwave units must be
securely fixed, and must not move when the wind blows, or when the ground
freezes and thaws.
At each transmitter and receiver location, a proper ground rod must be installed
according to local electrical codes. The ground rod must be connected to the unit
according to the installation instructions.
