(a)
(b)
(a) The accept pole diameter is
from 1.5” to 2”. If the diameter
is larger than 2”, it can cause a
failure very fast. If diameter is
smaller than 1.5”, the clamping
force might be insufficient in
holding the device to the pole.
(b) To minimize bolts
crosstalk, the bolt should
gradually increase the bolt
load on both sides.
