To determine the mounting location and method:
1 With the building manager, define the mounting location and method
(wall mount or pole mount).
NOTE: The preferred mounting location is on a wall because it is
generally structurally sound. The IFU’s streamlined exterior is
designed to complement building aesthetics.
2 After defining the mounting location for the IFU, re-verify the line of
sight.
3 For wall- and pole-mount criterians, the bottom of the IFU should be at
least eight feet above the roof.
Wall-Mount Criteria
Wall mounting can be on a parapet wall, screen wall, or penthouse wall that
meets the following criteria:
The wall must be structurally capable of supporting at least 80
pounds, plus the wind loading as required by the local building codes.
The wall must allow through-hole bolt mounting.
The space for the IFU, its mounting bracket, and the alignment area
must be at least 65 inches by 65 inches by 30 inches (W x H x D).
Pole-Mount Criteria
The pole can be attached to the wall or free-standing.
If the pole is attached to a wall, the pole must be structurally capable of
supporting at least 80 pounds, plus the wind loading as required by the local
building codes.
For free-standing poles, calculate the amount of ballast based on the
building’s wind loading requirements. Consult the pole manufacturer for the
required ballast weight to secure the free-standing pole.
NOTE: The total weight of the pole with the IFU can
be upwards of 550 pounds. Consult the pole
manufacturer for the required weight for the ballasts to
secure the free-standing pole roof space required.
