This document provides instructions for installing a 30-foot wireless mast and Ubiquiti networking equipment for broadband internet access. It involves digging a hole and setting ground anchors in a triangular pattern around the hole. The mast is assembled and connected to guy wires attached to the ground anchors. Cables are run up the mast to connect a Ubiquiti radio to a power over ethernet adapter and a computer. When complete, the setup provides long-range wireless internet access through the Ubiquiti equipment mounted at the top of the mast.

2. What is mast in electrical?
•A mast, which is outside on your
roof or at your meter, feeds
power to your home from
overhead lines. It typically
resembles a metal pipe or tube.
To ensure power is flowing to
your house, take a look at your
mast, but because it's energized,
never touch it.

7. OVERVIEW OF INSTALL
 Clear a 60' radius circle in your yard in an area where the radio will
have clear view of Tower when 30' mast is assembled.
 The distance from the radio atop the mast to the router or computer
should be no more than 200'.
 Dig a 6" hole in the center of the area for base of mast.
 Locate three ground anchor locations 30' from hole equal distance
apart as shown in the diagram. Insert Ground Anchors.
 Attach Guy Wire Rings to the top of the top mast and 2nd masts
fluted end
 Lay one end of bottom mast at center of hole with sac of concrete to
act as anchor when lift up the mast.
 Connect 2nd and top mast to bottom mast. Lay the 3 connected
sections equal distance between two of the ground anchor locations.

9. Step 1 - Dig hole for
mast.
Dig 6" deep hole with pick or shovel
and place bottom of 30' masts
connected together with the 50 lb
sack of concrete at the opposite side
of the hole. This will act as an
anchor holding the base of the mast
down when you lift the mast up to a
vertical position.

10. Step 2: Install Ground Anchors
Measure 30' in 3 triangular directions
as shown in layout above. Insert
Ground Anchors into ground at angle
away from center of layout.

11. Insert Ground Anchors into
ground by screwing them in.
If the ground is hard you may
need to use a heavy
screwdriver or pipe wrench.
Don't turn to hard as triangle
top may break.

12. Step 3 - Assemble Guy Wire Rings &
Mast
Mount Guy Wire Rings at top (30') and at
20'. 2nd ring is optional for stability of the
mast. 2nd ring does not require the clamp.
Connect all three sections together with one
ring at the top and optional ring at 20'. Lay
the base of the mast at the hole which was
dug in step 1 and position the top of the
mast equal distance between two of the
ground anchors.

13. Red Line "Mast" shown assembled
and laid on the ground exactly
between two of the ground
anchors.

14. Step 4: Install Guy Wire
Cut exactly 42'6" of wire for each of
the 3 legs of the mast. This wire is
very difficult to manage as it wants
to wind itself up. For a bit more
money you can perform this step
using 1/8" wire rope which is 4
times more expensive, but easier to
handle.

15. Use a vise or heavy pliers to open one
end of the turn buckle to attach it to
the ring on the ground anchor. Make
sure the turnbuckle is fully extended.
Don't wrap more than 6" of wire
around the Clamp set ring attached to
the turnbuckle. Tighten wire clamps
as shown in the lower picture at right.
Attach one turnbuckle and wire to
each ground anchor on either side of
the mast. Let the 3rd turnbuckle lie
along side the mast. The 3rd
turnbuckle will be connected after the
mast is stood up.

16. Step 5: Attach Wires to Ring
Attach the opposite ends of the guy wire from each ground
anchor to the Guy Wire Ring at the top of the mast. Two wires
connect to their respective ground anchor will lay to each side
of the mast and the 3rd wire will run along side the mast from
the top all the way to the base.

17. Step 6: Insert Ethernet
Insert one end of the ethernet into the
"Main" port of the Ubiquiti Radio. Tie-
wrap the ethernet cable every 5-7 feet
down the mast to base as shown.

18. Step 7-Mount the Radio
Attach the mounting kit to the radio as
shown in the picture to the right and
then attach the mount to the top of the
mast above the guy wire ring. Note the
angle of adjustment that was given to
you at the time of the order and set the
mountain guide in accordance with the
appropriate angle.
If not sure then do your best to aim the
radio directly at the tower. It is
important that the radio be aimed
properly in order to get the best quality
of signal. Make sure all screws are
tightened before the next step.

19. Step 8: Raise the Mast
Standing at the top of the mast, pick up the mast
above your head and walk towards the base with
your hands extended above your head. As you
approach the base, the bottom of the mast will lever
up against the sack of concrete which will keep the
base of the mast at ground level.
Once you have stood the mast up vertically, two of
the guy wires will be taut. The third guy wire will be
dangling near you. Grap the third guy wire and pull
it taut between the ground and the top of the mast
and walk slowly in the direction of the third ground
anchor. Hold the wire tight as you go. When you
reach the third ground anchor attach the turnbuckle
to the ring of the ground anchor.

20. At this point you can adjust the tightness
of the guy wires by turning the turn
buckles. The mast may not be perfectly
straight which may require you attach
guy wires to the 2nd ring installed in
Step 3. If necessary reverse the
procedure in this step to let the mast
down to the ground, then attach the
additional wire from the 2nd ring to the
two ground anchors as done before and
repeat the step to raise the mast again
with the two loose guy wires for the 3rd
ground anchor. Once in place the mast
can be turned to point the radio towards
the remote tower.

21. Step 9-Connect to POE
Connect the cable from the Radio to the
Ubiquiti Power over Ethernet (POE)
adapter as shown in the diagrams here.

22. Step 10: Connect to Computer
When you plugged in the POE
adapter in Step 9, the radio
turned on and should have
connected to the remote tower
if it is aimed properly and you
should be able to surf the
internet immediately.

THANKYOU!
