Kenpro KR-600RC - Installation Guidelines; Mounting Options; Antenna Loading

INSTALLATION:
The
KENROTOR
KR-600RC
can
be
mounted
on a
mast
top
of
a
tower
or
inside
tower.
It
is designed for use
with medium-sized
antennas.
The
maximum
load.
capability
of a
rotator
is
quite
dependent
on
the
physical
size
of antenna,

are
the
result of
our
long
field
experience
and
accurnulation
of
know-how.
An Antenna
should
be mounted
as
close
to the
rotor
as
possible. Wind
pressure against
the antenna
produces
a bending
force
on
the
mast which
is
proportional
to the length
of
the mast
used-
we
suggest
three
feet
of antenna
support
pipe as the
practical timit.
Vteight
of
the antenna
should
be
balaneed
on
either
side
of the
boom
at
the mast-to-boom
clamp.
Balanced
weight
produces
only
axial
down
thrust
on
the
rotor
and
our KR-6O0RC
has
the axial
load
rating
of as
high as
440
Lbs.
Unbalanced
installation
results
in some
leverage
force
which
strains
the
mast
at
the
clamping
point
on
the rotor.
Great
care
to
be
given
especially
in
high
wind
areas.
