Clearance Requirements

The arm of the TRAV’LER antenna extends 33” from the center of the base and may operate only 10” above the surface to which the TRAV’LER antenna is mounted. To ensure you have adequate clearance for the TRAV’LER antenna to safely operate, check that there are no obstructions taller than 10” within 33” of the center of the base.

Also, check that there are no obstructions (such as tree limbs) above the antenna that will prevent it from raising. At its highest point, the antenna will extend to 37.5” above the roof to which it is mounted (see fig. 3).
