1. Mechanical Installation
The RSC has to be installed on a horizontal pipe above the center of a road lane.
The pipe has to be 1.5” up to 2” in diameter, and its length has to be sufficient to locate
the RSC over the center of the lane. (The width of a standard lane is about
3.6m ≅ 12ft). For longer pipes and for areas with extreme winds it is important to add
additional supports (still cables, etc.) to prevent bending of the pipe.
The RSC-900W should be installed by professional installers ONLY,
authorized ONLY by the local distributor – the “Operating Company”
