MOUNTING THE ANTENNA ON A TRI MAST
After the assembly is complete, use the following steps to mount the antenna to the
predetermined location. The mount must be attached to a structural member, i.e. solid wall or
wall studding.
Caution
Do not attempt to mount the tri mast on slate, Spanish tile, or shake shingle
roof materials. When mounting on a brick wall or chimney, drill the mounting
hole into brick, not the mortar joints. Do not install over a living area, the
preferred location is over the eves of a roof.
Wall Mount Example
Step 1: Locate the wall stud in the area of installation. Align the holes of the Mounting Bracket
with the structural member. Mark the upper hole in the center of the bracket with a pencil and
drill a 3.175 mm (1/8") hole.
Attach the Mounting Bracket to the wall with a 6.35 mm x 76.2 mm (1/4" X 3") lag screw and
washer, but do not tighten. Use a Spirit Level to ensure that the bracket is horizontally and
vertically level.
Drill a 3.175 mm (1/8") hole for the bottom hole in the center of the bracket and insert a 6.35
mm x 76.2 mm (1/4" X 3") lag screw and washer. Tighten both lag screws.
Drill a 3.175 mm (1/8") hole in each of the holes in the Mounting Bracket base. Insert and
tighten a 7.94 mm x 38.1 mm (5/16" X 1 1/2") lag screw and washer in each corner hole (Figure
4-1).
Note: Fill all holes with weather-grade silicon sealer before inserting bolts or screws.
Note: The lag screws
and washers are not
included in the Tri
Mast package.
