Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a location
where the device cannot be interfered with, either intentionally or accidentally.Mounting Location
Mounting Surface
•
Make sure the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the
RF-160 (12.2 lb (5.5 kg)) and the pole under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and tem-
perature.
Mounting Orientation
•
Important for a good result is the vertical alignment of the device. Do not tilt the device.
5.2 Overvoltage Protection
For safe mounting in an exposed position overvoltage protection must be observed.
Ensure that the mast is connected to the lightning conductor of the building and there is a metallic
contact between the mast mount and the mast. The lightning conductor must be installed at least
1.5 m above the RF-160.
Lightning Protection Installation with RF-160s
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors, in
accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60 and Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70).
