At the Gasboy System End
Note: The fueling position assembly must be mounted no lower than 18 inches above the
ground and no closer than 18 inches to any fuel dispenser.
Antenna Mast or Tower
• The height of the mast or tower will be determined by the line of sight requirement
between this antenna and the PC wireless antenna.
• You are allowed to use a 10-foot mast, or a 10-foot tower and 10-foot mast (11 feet to 18
feet total height), or a 20-foot 1 or 2 section tower and 10-foot mast (21 feet to 28 feet total
height) without the use of guy wires.
• If a tower base section is used, the manufacturers’ requirements for the installation of that
tower must be followed for the height of the tower installed.
Note: A tower and mast section is preferred as it encloses the wireless modem inside the
tower and protects it from being damaged.
