Mounting on the floor
In some cases the only place where the installation is acceptable, possible or
authorized is on the floor (for example on a roof without any parapet or if the
parapet is metallic ...). In such situations drilling holes on the floor is out of the
question.
The principle consists in fixing in a very stable way a tower standing on the floor.
The transceiver will be attached on the top of the tower.
Two techniques using a small concrete block are suggested for stabilizing the tower
on the floor.
• The concrete slab is directly poured on the basis of the tower
• Four bolts are inserted in the concrete slab placed on the floor. The tower
mount is fixed on the slab with the inserted bolts using nuts.

TAKE CARE TO REMOVE ANY INTERVENING SOFT
MATERIAL, SUCH AS ASPHALT, BETWEEN THE SLAB/TOWER
BASIS AND THE FLOOR. ONCE THE INSTALLATION IS
COMPLETED RESTORE THE ROOF WATER-TIGHTNESS WITH
A SEALING MATERIAL AROUND THE SLAB.
