Product Usage Instructions
Installation Site Inspection
The selected roof location must be structurally sound, in good repair, suitable for optimal signal, and accepted by the customer before installation.
Safety Warnings
Ensure the strength of the purlin-rafter joint is adequate for wind load transfer. Use earth leakage protection safety devices when drilling into any surfaces.
Installation Limitations
Follow height, slope, and cladding rib height limitations. Maintain rafter and batten spacing within specified ranges.
Installation Guide
- Step 1: Fasten duo cleat brackets to the roofnear a rafter using supplied hardware. Secure inner telescoping stay tubes to the brackets.
- Step 2: Attach mast foot cleat bracket above duo cleats, apply sealant, fasten to the roof, and install mast and stay arms.
Mast and Stay Arms
The telescoping mast allows height adjustments for optimal signal performance. Ensure proper overlap of inner and outer stay bar tubes.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Can the SM19 be used on tiled roofs?
- A: No, the SM19 is not suitable for tiled roofs or light gauge metal frame roofs.
Requirements
- 13MM-SM19 3m Telescopic Tripod Mount
- 13MM-BK01 Universal Batten Kit for Metal Roofs (Sold separately
Installation Site
The selected roof installation location must be carefully inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and in good repair before installation. Please also ensure the roof location chosen is suitable for optimal signal and accepted by the customer before installation.
Warning
The SM19 relies upon the strength of the purlin-rafter joint to transfer the wind load to the building structure. Therefore, joints near the mast must be inspected to ensure they are suitable and structurally sound.
Safety Warning
Dangerous live electrical cables may be behind roof sheets/ building cladding. Please ensure an earth leakage protection safety device is used when drilling into any surfaces.
Installation Limitations
The SM19 can be installed to a maximum height of 8.5m above ground level to comply with maximum loading. The roof must not exceed 30 degrees slope and have cladding rib heights between 16 and 30mm. Rafter and Batten spacings must be between 900mm minimum and 1200mm maximum. The SM19 mount is only designed for use on standard corrugated cladding profiles like CUSTOM ORB®. For different profiles such as TRIMDEK® or SPANDEK®, a cyclonic metal batten kit must be used to fasten at the anchor locations (13MM-BK01 sold separately) The SM19 is not suitable for tiled roofs or light gauge metal frame roofs.
Mast and Stay Arms
The SM19 mast is a telescoping mast. Six different height adjustments are available from 2.1m minimum to 3m maximum, allowing the installer to set the mast at the optimal height for signal performance. The stay bars are designed to run down the roof from the main mast and have a maximum allowable length of 2800mm. The minimum allowable overlap of the inner and outer stay bar tubes is 150mm. See figure 1
Installation Guide
Step 1: After selecting a suitable roof position and confirming with your
client, fasten the two supplied duo cleat brackets to the roof with the centre
bolt within +-100mm of a roof rafter and batten joint. Place two supplied
rubber washers underneath the duo cleat bracket and fasten to the roof with
two supplied Type 17, 65mm wood screws and then repeat the process for the
second duo cleat. Next, place the flattened end of the inner (smaller)
telescoping stay tubes over the M10 threaded stud and loosely fit the supplied
M10 nut to lightly secure in place. See Figure 2.
Note: The flattened ends of the stay bars can be adjusted to suit the
installation angle by simply bending with an appropriate tool like a vice grip
or adjustable wrench.
Step 2: Place the mast foot cleat bracket onto the roof on the higher side above the duo cleats and centre between them. Ensure the mast foot’s higher side flange is on the upper side of the roof slope. Next, place some roofing silicone sealant underneath the bottom face of the mast base where the two screws affix and then fasten to the roof using two Type 17, 65mm wood screws as supplied. Then install the 5/16 U-bolt and mast nest to the mast cleat bracket using the two 5/16 Nuts, flat and spring washers with the nuts on the higher side of the flange. Make sure there is enough space for the larger size end of the mast, seat the mast into the U-bolt and nest and lightly tighten the nuts to hold the mast while still allowing it to rotate freely. See Figure 3.
Warning: If fixing to metal batten roofs (0.42-1.5mm thick), use either the supplied duo cleats or use the required cyclonic metal batten kit (13MM- BK01 sold separately) and fasten, replacing all Type 17, 65mm wood screws with Buildex® M6.5-12 x 55 Roof Zips® screw fasteners.
Step 3: Attach the flattened ends of the larger telescoping stay tubes to
the top of the lower section of the mast using the supplied U-bolt, mast nest
and 5/16 Nuts, flat and spring washers. Lightly tighten the nuts to hold the
mast while allowing it to rotate freely. Next, install the lock ring to the
top of the lower outer mast section and lightly tighten the thumb bolt to hold
it.
Note: The U-bolt must only be fastened to the swaged top section of the
outer mast. See Figure 4.
Step 4: The mount is now nearly complete and should look as shown in Figure 5. Using a spirit level (magnetic levels make the job easier). Adjust the mast by pushing it into place until it is plumb. Now secure the two stay bars using the supplied 10g x 16mm TEK® screws and drill into the pilot holes of the stay bar overlap. See Figure 5.
Step 5: Assemble your antenna per the manufacturer’s instructions, connect the antenna cable and fasten it to the top of the inner mast tube, ready for testing.
Step 6: Loosen the lock ring until the inner mast is free and then lift the inner mast until the supplied M8 x 50mm lock bolt can be installed through the upper hole. Once the bolt is inserted, lower the mast until it rests against the bolt and then rotate until the mast slots into place over the bolt (you will feel the mast clip over the bolt). Next, gently tighten the lock ring to lock the two mast sections together. Now connect your antenna to your test equipment and gently rotate the mast to find the optimal signal direction. See Figure 6.
Step 7: Note the direction of the antenna pointing, loosen the lock ring,
and remove the locking bolt from the upper hole. Slowly lower the mast while
measuring your received signal until you find the optimum height for the best
signal. If the best position is lower than the maximum height, mark the mast
at this height using a pencil or marker pen before lowering it all the way to
attach the permanent cable connection to the antenna. Now raise the inner mast
upwards, fastening the cable to the mast using suitable fasteners like UV
stable tape and UV stable cable ties until you reach the marked height. At
this height, reinstall the lock bolt through the outer mast upper hole and the
nearest suitable locking hole (pre-punched hole on the inner mast) and fasten
it in place using the supplied M8 nut. Tighten the lock ring to lock the top
mast, and then check the antenna direction and signal before locking off the
top U-bolt, mast foot U-bolt and tightening all nuts, bolts and fasteners
