TSFSup : Telescopic Mast Module

Description :

The mast in comprised of concentric heavy guage aluminium tubes with a total length of 12.5 meters (41 feet). All necessary tools for a standard installation are included in the kit as well as the guy ropes and tethering pegs.

Each of the four segments of 3 meters length can be stowed inside each other. The outside diameter of the base tube is 8cm, the outside diameter of the top tube is 5.2cm. When assembled each tube is secured with a stainless steel cross bolt.

The mast can be installed by two persons in about one hour.

The base is tiltable and is made of a 20 x 20cm plate that can be fixed into a cement foundation (or wood) using the accessories supplied.

The guy ropes supplied are made up of 12 x 25m (4mm dia.) UV resistant cords with a breaking strain of more than 100 Kg. The 3 galvanised tethering pegs are placed around the mast at 120 degree intervals on approx. 6m radials. The guy ropes are fixed at each tube section (at 3-6-9-12m) using the section cross bolts. Hence three guy ropes at each of four levels.

The cross beam is a 1.5m horizontal tube mounted on the top section of the mast for fixing the antennas. Its sturdy construction and integral pulleys allows the easy hoisting of HF wires antennas once the mast has been erected. Other types of antennas are pre-assembled onto the cross beam PRIOR to the erection of the mast. The cables are tethered to the outside mast. A thirteenth cord allows retrieval of the up-going cable in the pulley.
