Please see Page 49 for information on Side Struts.
SIDE STRUTS
Side Struts are devices which help to increase antenna stability under high wind conditions. Radio Waves manufactures
and highly recommends the usage of additional side struts to enhance the wind survival of microwave antennas. Side struts
are an economical and efficient way to improve the wind survival rating of Radio Waves high quality microwave antennas.
Radio Waves standard parabolic and high performance antennas have a wind survival rating of 125 mphs (201 km/h) in
their normal configuration. The SP8, HP6 and HP8 series include one side strut with the standard antenna package to
achieve these levels of wind survival.
To achieve a wind survival rating of 150 mph (241 km/h) please use the appropriate side strut selection table to purchase an
additional side strut as noted below:
For extreme high wind conditions the Radio Waves SP2 series can be utilized with an RD2 conical radome and an SST-2/3
to achieve a wind survival rating of 200 mph (332 km/h).
For further information or installation recommendations for Side Struts please contact Radio Waves technical support.
