Procedures
Use the following guidelines to mount an antenna on a curb-side round pole.
To mount the antenna to a curb-side pole
1. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to attach the antenna assembly to the pole approximately 8 feet
(2.4 m) above the pavement surface.
2. Tighten slightly so that you can adjust the antenna left or right but not so slightly that the antenna
slides down the pole.
3. Adjust the assembly by pointing the antenna to the middle of the area where tags will be read, and
while in this position, tighten all screws and fastenings slightly.
Note: Adjust the antenna to provide the most direct line of sight to the tags.

measurements for sites where tags would be mounted on the interior driver-side windshield.
