55MM-SM19 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Installation Site
The selected roof installation location must be carefully
inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and in good
repair before installation. Please also ensure the roof
location chosen is suitable for optimal signal and accepted
by the customer before installation.
Requirements
55MM-SM19 3m Telescopic Tripod Mount
55MM-BK01 Universal Batten Kit for Metal Roofs (Sold
separately)
Warning
The SM19 relies upon the strength of the purlin-rafter joint to
transfer the wind load to the building structure. Therefore,
joints near the mast must be inspected to ensure they are
suitable and structurally sound.
Safety Warning
Dangerous live electrical cables may be behind roof sheets/
building cladding. Please ensure an earth leakage protection
safety device is used when drilling into any surfaces.
Installation Limitations
The SM19 can be installed to a maximum height of 8.5m
above ground level to comply with maximum loading. The
roof must not exceed 30 degrees slope and have cladding
rib heights between 16 and 30mm.
Rafter and Batten spacings must be between 900mm
minimum and 1200mm maximum.
The SM19 mount is only designed for use on standard
corrugated cladding proles like CUSTOM ORB®. For
different proles such as TRIMDEK® or SPANDEK®, a
cyclonic metal batten kit must be used to fasten at the
anchor locations (55MM-BK01 sold separately)
The SM19 is not suitable for tiled roofs or light
gauge metal frame roofs.
Mast and Stay Arms
The SM19 mast is a telescoping mast. Six
different height adjustments are available
from 2.1m minimum to 3m maximum,
allowing the installer to set the mast
at the optimal height for signal
performance. The stay bars are
designed to run down the roof
from the main mast and have a
maximum allowable length of
2800mm. The minimum
allowable overlap of the inner and
outer stay bar tubes is 150mm. See gure 1.
Installation Guide
Step 1: After selecting a suitable
roof position and conrming
with your client, fasten the two
supplied duo cleat brackets to
the roof with the centre bolt
within +-100mm of a roof rafter
and batten joint. Place two
supplied rubber washers
underneath the duo cleat
bracket and fasten to the roof with two supplied Type 17,
65mm wood screws and then repeat the process for the
second duo cleat. Next, place the attened end of the inner
(smaller) telescoping stay tubes over the M10 threaded
stud and loosely t the supplied M10 nut to lightly secure in
place. See gure 2.
Note: The attened ends of the stay
bars can be adjusted to suit the
installation angle by simply bending with
an appropriate tool like a vice grip or
adjustable wrench.

Step 2: Place the mast foot cleat bracket onto the roof on
the higher side above the duo cleats and centre between
them. Ensure the mast foot’s higher side ange is on the
upper side of the roof slope. Next, place some roong
silicone sealant underneath the bottom face of the mast
base where the two screws afx and then fasten to the roof
using two Type 17, 65mm wood screws as supplied.
Then install the 5/16 U-bolt and
mast nest to the mast cleat
bracket using the two 5/16 Nuts,
at and spring washers with the
nuts on the higher side of the ange.
Make sure there is enough
space for the larger size end of
the mast, seat the mast into the
U-bolt and nest and lightly
tighten the nuts to hold the
mast while still allowing it to
rotate freely. See gure 3.
Step 3: Attach the
attened ends of the
larger telescoping stay
tubes to the top of the
lower section of the
mast using the supplied
U-bolt, mast nest and
5/16 Nuts, at and spring
washers. Lightly tighten
the nuts to hold the
mast while allowing it
to rotate freely. Next,
install the lock ring to the
top of the lower outer
mast section and lightly
tighten the thumb bolt to
hold it.
Note: The U-bolt must
only be fastened to the
swaged top section of
the outer mast.
See gure 4.
Warning: If xing to metal batten roofs (0.42-1.5mm thick),
use either the supplied duo cleats or use the required
cyclonic metal batten kit (55MM-BK01 sold separately)
and fasten, replacing all Type 17, 65mm wood screws with
Buildex®M6.5-12 x 55 Roof Zips®screw fasteners.

Step 4: The mount is now
nearly complete and should
look as shown in gure 5.
Using a spirit level (magnetic
levels make the job easier).
Adjust the mast by pushing
it into place until it is plumb.
Now secure the two stay
bars using the supplied 10g x
16mm TEK®screws and drill
into the pilot holes of the
stay bar overlap.
See gure 5.
Step 5: Assemble your antenna per the
manufacturer’s instructions, connect the antenna
cable and fasten it to the top of the inner mast
tube, ready for testing.
Step 6: Loosen the lock
ring until the inner mast
is free and then lift the
inner mast until the
supplied M8 x 50mm
lock bolt can be installed
through the upper hole.
Once the bolt is inserted,
lower the mast until it
rests against the bolt
and then rotate until the
mast slots into place
over the bolt (you will
feel the mast clip over
the bolt). Next, gently
tighten the lock ring
to lock the two mast
sections together. Now
connect your antenna to
your test equipment and
gently rotate the mast
to nd the optimal signal
direction.
See gure 6.
Step 7: Note the direction of the antenna pointing, loosen
the lock ring, and remove the locking bolt from the upper
hole. Slowly lower the mast while measuring your received
signal until you nd the optimum height for the best signal.
If the best position is lower than the maximum height,
mark the mast at this height using a pencil or marker pen
before lowering it all the way to attach the permanent
cable connection to the antenna. Now raise the inner mast
upwards, fastening the cable to the mast using suitable
fasteners like UV stable tape and UV stable cable ties until
you reach the marked height. At this height, reinstall the
lock bolt through the outer mast upper hole and nearest
suitable locking hole (pre punched hole on inner mast) and
fasten it in place using the supplied M8 nut.
Tighten the lock ring to lock the top mast, and then check
the antenna direction and signal before locking off the top
U-bolt, mast foot U-bolt and tightening all nuts, bolts and
fasteners.
Step 8: The mast installation is complete and should look
like gure 7.
Finally, fasten the remaining cable down the mast. Feed it
into the roof space or building entry point. Ensure it does
not exceed the manufacturer’s cable bend radius or expose
the cable to any sharp edges upon entry where the cable
can be cut or damaged.
Double-check all fasteners and seals before leaving
the roof area.
