SITING.
TRANSMITTER AND SUPPORT
The transmitter and support must be set up in an open area free of an obstructed windflow from all directions.
Objects that can block wind or create eddies of wind (such as buildings, trees, or any high structure) must be avoided.
Keep a safe distance from major roadways to avoid exhaust gases or excessive smoke.
The mounting surface is to be of concrete, wood, or a material sturdy enough to support the weight of the transmitter,
support, and a serviceman, and, in the event of high winds, the force of tightened guy wires. The support requires an area
of 4 1/2 square feet to allow for proper spacing of the three support legs and must also be fairly level.
INDICATOR
The indicator must be set up in a sheltered area no more than 6 feet from a source of 105 - 125 vac, 60 Hz, single phase.
It must be mounted on a flat level surface or hung on a wall where it can be easily read by the operator.
The distance between the transmitter and indicator will be determined by the length of the interconnection cable used.
Cables are listed in order of desirability. See appendix E, Expendable Supplies and Materials List.
