2.1.2Installation

1.The TLX106 Tower attaches to a user supplied concrete foundation constructed as shown in Figure 2.1-2.

2.Construct the concrete form with 2" x 4" lumber and 16p nails.

3.Assemble the template and anchor bolts. There should be two nuts below and one nut above the template on each bolt.

4.Clear an area large enough to set the form at the desired elevation.

5.Dig a hole 2 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet. Lighter soils may require a deeper hole. About 20 inches below the top of the hole, gouge a small cavity in one wall of the hole. The cavity should be about 4 inches deep and just large enough in diameter to insert one end of the conduit. Make certain the cavity "points" in the direction from which power and communications cables will come.

6.Center the form over the hole. Adjacent to the form, drive four stakes into the soil. Secure the leveled form to the stakes with the 8p nails.

7.Cap the ends of the conduit with duct tape. Position the conduit and wire into place by securing the wire to nails in the form.

8.Fill the hole and form with approximately ½ yard of concrete. Screed the concrete level with the top of the form. Center the template assembly over the conduit and press into the concrete. Put 2 x 4 spacers between the template and the top of the form. The bottom of the bolt threads should be about ½ inch above the concrete. The template must be level in two dimensions. Use a trowel and edger to finish.

9.Wait 24 hours before removing the concrete form. Wait 7 days before mounting the TLX106 Tower.
