Routing the Device Cables
Before erecting the mast, route the device cables from the top of the
mast on the hinge side to avoid possible damage to the cables when
tilting the mast. It is also important to attach the cables to the mast
with the cable ties. The recommended distance between the cable ties
is from 30 to 40 cm (11 to 16 in.).
