2.1.2 Installation
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.
