Page 16: C) Siren Assembly Mounting (5 Or Less Speaker Cells)
IMPORTANT! Before proceeding with the speaker installation, it is necessary for the installer to know the number of speaker cells to be installed on the utility pole. If the speaker assembly to be installed consists of 5 (five) or less speaker cells, the speaker assembly may, at the installers discretion, be mounted onto the utility pole before the pole has been set. -

Page 19: E) Antenna Mounting (Optional)
e) Antenna Mounting (optional)... NOTE: Antenna installation must be in compliance with all FCC regulations. The proper antenna bracket mounting location is determined by several considerations. The antenna bracket should be positioned as high on the utility pole as is possible. However, under no circumstances should the top of the installed antenna mast be any closer than one inch from the bottom of the Pole Top Mounting Bracket (see “Fig. -
Page 20: F) Solar Panel Mounting (Optional)
f) Solar Panel Mounting (optional)... The solar panel must be installed so that it is directly facing the earth’s equator with an unobstructed view. Failure to orient the solar panel in this way will result in significantly reduced charging effectiveness. The most critical aspect of properly mounting the solar panel involves achieving the optimum tilt angle. -
