1.2 m antennas can be mounted on non-penetrating mounts, or on
metal poles.
The 6.5-foot by 6.5-foot with 2-7/8-inch mast (HNS PN
9012417-0001) is the only non-penetrating mount qualified for
use with the 1.2 m antenna.
Install the non-penetrating mount using the same procedures and
specifications, including safety specifications, as in Installing the
.98 m antenna non-penetrating mount on page 28.
The 1.2 m mount can be installed on a metal pole. You will attach
mount
the AZ/EL and reflector directly to the pole. Make sure the parts
used conform to the specifications in the table below. In addition,
note:
• The hole must be at least 54 inches deep.
• The soil bearing capacity should be no less than 2000 PSF.
• Concrete should be poured against undisturbed soil.
The .98 m antenna pole mount must be enclosed by a fence. For
details, see Fencing specifications on page 76.
Table 11: Additional parts and tools needed for 1.2 m metal pole
• Metal pole, 2-7/8-inch outside diameter, schedule 80 galvanized
water pipe, 84 inches long (longer if needed to ensure the bottom
edge of the antenna dish is at least 5 feet above ground level).
Should conform with ASTM A36 structural steel and ASTM 53
pipe.
• 1.5-inch x 1.5-inch x 3/16-inch HRS angle, 8 inches long, TYP 2
PL. Should conform with ASTM A36 structural steel and ASTM
53 pipe. Can also use alternative methods of rebar or bolt.
• Required number of bags of quick-setting concrete or
Quickcrete
standards and have a minimum compressive strength of 3000
PSI at 28 days, as per ACI-318-77.
DANGER
• Call local utility companies before digging to avoid
striking underground cables, pipes, or lines.
• Striking or cutting underground cables, pipes, or lines
