DH Satellite 1PC or 4PC 3m, 3.7m, & 3.8m 48 Polar/Fixed Mount - Manual (Page 2)

INSTALLATION OF BASE:
Look at the figures below, FIG. #3 shows the recommended concrete base. In areas of deep frost we recommend that this base go below frost
levels. 1/2" rebar can be used to reinforce the structure, if required; contact your local concrete people or a local Engineer to give you an idea
of how much steel to use.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK WITH A LOCAL ENGINEER TO DETERMINE SOIL TYPE AND
BEARING TO VERIFY THAT THIS BASE WILL WORK FOR YOUR LOCALE.
With this mount option you have a choice of two different base assemblies. The first is a base post (see FIG. #3). The base post is simply a
5" I.D. / 5 1/2" O.D. pipe that has one or more weldments on the lower section. We recommend that the post be in the concrete at least 4 '-0".
When the post is set in concrete, be sure it is plumb. The second option is using either a square foundation or a sono tube shown in FIG. #4.
