3.3 RFT Installation

At the customer’s discretion, the RFTs can be installed anywhere on or near the antenna.
The supplied hardware allows the installer a wide range of installation alternatives,
including:

Vertical pole (e.g., mast) (either square or round). This is the most typical
installation.

Within the hub of a large antenna.

Spar (i.e., rectangular bar) on the antenna structure.

EFData recommends that the RFTs be mounted vertically, with the air inlets facing the
ground.
