6.3.1. MAST/POLE INSTALLATION
The different section types of mast/pole where the MBS Unit can be mounted are the
following ones:
q Circular section: Diameter from 30 mm to 130 mm.
q Square section: From 30 mm x30 mm to 85 mm x85 mm.
q L section: From 30 mm x30 mm to 110 mm x110 mm.
In the choice of the mast/pole where the MBS Unit is being installed the following
recommendations must be followed:
q The mast/pole has to support the loads due to the installation of some elements
on them.
q The mast/pole has to support the loads due to the action of the wind, snow as
well as its own weight, because these are going to induce its flexion.
q The mast/pole must have the enough inertia both lateral and frontal in order that
the action of different loads does not induce permanent deformations on it.
q The manufacturer of the mast/pole must evaluate the structural factor of the
mast/pole correctly depending on its type.
q It is necessary to take into account both the height where the MBS Unit is
installed and its weight/dimensions (See section “MBS Unit” in chapter
(F067326) “SBS Technical Description” in the Technical Manual).
It is recommended to choose a lattice mast/pole in case of this one has a
high height and it is going to be submitted to important flexion efforts. In any
case, it is responsibility of the manufacturer of the mast/pole to determine if
the resistant section of mast/pole is suitable.
