location.
Unpack all hardware and inspect for damage. Please contact Flash Technology Customer Service (page 16) if any
parts are damaged or missing. See the RMA Policy (page 16) for additional information.
2.2 MOUNT THE BEACON
The beacon should be positioned so that the light collector for the photodiode has an unobstructed view of the
polar sky. It must be shielded from direct or reflected artificial light that interferes with mode change operation.
The GPS antenna located on top of the beacon must have an unobstructed view of the sky for proper reception
and synchronization.
The beacon is equipped with 6 mounting holes in the base ( Figure 2-1 , page 9) laid out on a 7.88-inch (200 mm)
bolt circle diameter to enable a 3-hole or a 4-hold mounting pattern of the beacon. The beacon should be
mounted directly to the tower pedestal or to an optional mounting bracket
