3 Star Inc FRM-238-30 Non-Penetrating Flat Roof Antenna Mount with 2.38" OD x 30 inch HDG Mast
3 Star Inc
Made in the USA!
The FRM-238-30 is a Flat Roof Mount with a 2.375" OD x 30 inch HDG (Hot Dip Galvanized) Antenna Mast that is ideal for Light to Medium Duty Off-Air TV, Cellular, Wireless Internet, SCADA, CCTV, Telemetry, Flat Panel, Small Parabolic and Microwave Dish Links, MIMO, Specialty Omni Reception, Specialty UHF, Starlink Gen 3, HughesNET, DirecWAY, StarBand, DBS, Fiberglass Whip and other medium sized, slightly weighty Antenna mounting. It can be configured as a Non-Penetrating, Guyed or Screw-down installation on a Flat Roof or at Ground level, and comes with assembly hardware. Non-Penetrating installations typically use (8) Standard Sized (8 x 8 x 16 inch) Concrete Blocks (Not Included) as Ballast Weight placement upon the 35.5 x 35.5 inch Pre-galvanized Square Frame Base, with a Mat or Pad underneath (available separately) as to avoid roof membrane marring and penetrations.
Height and Antenna Loading capability are dependent upon ballast weight to counter the tip-over moment of the Windspeed rating desired. In addition to the Windspeed Loading Data found under the "Specification" tab (if Available), You need to Consult an Engineer to determine the Building Code Requirements and Load Bearing Capacity of the roof structure where you will be installing this mount. It is Important to choose a Mount and Mounting Location with a Picture of the Finished Installation in Mind. Be Sure to First select a location that lends itself to applying a Load without Compromising the Integrity of the Material you place the mount on top of; i.e. roof membrane, covering, decorative cover, etc., or the Structural Members beneath. Next consider the Location over a Lifetime of Adjustments, does it lend itself to modifications in Height or Direction? Larger Antennas increase the surface area presented to air movement and thus, Wind-load does increase. As the height of the mast increases from Its last attached point on the structure, the torque applied in cantilever towards the tip-over moment also increases with Antenna off-center Weight and Wind-Load EPA (Effective Projected Area), requiring a more substantive Downward Force and/or Load Dissipation; i.e. supplemental Down-guys may be required as to keep ballast weight within Load-bearing capacity. Keep the Distance Minimal from the Antenna to the Equipment you feed, as to minimize loss and the need for Amplification.
A Retention Tether SCK150 (Safety Cable Kit) is required for Commercial Installations to mitigate Loss and Damage to Property, Further, the FRM-PAD or FRM-MAT is recommended for all installations to prevent slippage, distribute weight more evenly and prevent damage to the roof surface

*Redesign Difference from Legacy "RT" to New "RTL" Towers*
The "RT" Series Tower Sections had cross bracing segments that spanned from one Tower Section to the next.
The "RTL" Series Towers Sections feature cross bracing that starts,stops and is contained within the same Tower section; making it easier to assemble a complete tower section on the ground for lifting and easier attachment/fitting onto the next Tower Section during erection.
