Items to take on a site
Read these warnings before you begin the site survey.
DANGER
• If you work on a roof or other high structure or use a
ladder or scaffold to access the work site, follow these
precautions to prevent personal injury or death:
• To avoid electric shock, stay at least 20 feet (6 meters)
from power lines.
• Walk only on sound roof structures.
• Do not work in high wind or rain or if a storm, lightning,
or other adverse weather conditions are present or
approaching.
• Use appropriate safety equipment (for example, a
lifeline), depending on the work location.
• Follow all safety precautions from the manufacturers of
all safety equipment or other equipment used (such as
ladders or scaffolds).
Before beginning the site survey, make sure you have all
necessary information (such as names and phone numbers) for
accessing all parts of the building you will need to evaluate.
Typically you will need to evaluate the surface or area used to
install the mount, equipment rooms, IFL route, and grounding
location.
You are advised to take the following items:
visit
• Portable phone or 2-way radio
• Paper and pencil or pen for drawings
• Compass and inclinometer for checking line of sight to
satellite
• Tape measure
• Building map, if possible
• Key if required for access (to roof or other locations)
