Tsunami MP.11a Antenna Installation Guide
Antenna Mast Requirements
To accommodate the antennas, the antenna mast must satisfy the following requirements:
▪ The construction of the mast must consist of sturdy, weatherproof, and non-corrosive material such as,
for example, galvanized or stainless steel construction pipe.
▪ Typical diameter of the mast should be between 35 mm (1.4 in) and 41 mm (1.6 in). Depending upon the
type of antenna you intend to install, other diameters also may be possible.
▪ The height of the antenna mast must be sufficient to allow the antenna to be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft)
above the peak of the roof. If the roof is of metal, the height of the antenna should be at least 3 m (10 ft)
above the roof.
▪ The mast or wall bracket must be free from any substance that may prevent a good electrical connection
with the antenna such as, for example, paint.
