• The minimum recommended height is between 6-10m but the height should ultimately be determined by the location depending on the openness of the site taking into account turbulence caused by trees, builings, undulating hills,etc.
• A tower can be constructed using a pole of minimum height 6m with an internal diameter of 81mm (3” or 91mm outside diameter tube is usually suitable). Guy ropes or supports should always be used to ensure the tower is rigid, 2 sets each of 4 wires, one set just below the blade line and the other at half the tower height should be regarded as a minimum requirement.
• Alternative towers are available from specialist manufacturers eg lattice type towers, or columns from street light manufacturers. In each case it is preferable to select a tower with a hinge to facilitate lowering

The FM1803 may be used as a permanent or temporary installation on land on appropriate type mounting structures. It is not suitable for use on unstable platforms, eg floating buoys as the furling mechanism is affected by rolling motion. Stable platforms eg, oil rigs, are suitable.
