What type of mounting pole does it require to get 15-20 feet in the air. What would be required to set up a battery back up bank system. Thanks

We are mounting ours 25' up using a 4" od pole of 20' and ending in a 2" od pirce 5' long ,on to which the turbine mounts. We will be running the output from the charge regulator into a parallel bank of three 12v 300Ah deep cycle marine batteries, for a total of 900Ah at 12v

You can use R4 pole and would need to get controller and inverter in order to use batteries. Thanks.

You will need a battery installed on front of trailer or some way to power and it would need to be quite heavy wire (cables) it you were to runn any distance to another battery....

I have not used with a battery back up system. This is 120v ac only. No option for 12v DC.

U can use either reg battery cables or smaller 12V cables, battery has both large & small post. I've had 1 for 2 yrs its a good battery for trolling, get 4 to 5 hours on 50lb motor

I suggest a 40lb thrust. I use a Coleman air pump with no issues. Good trolling motor battery and charger are also important. As with any trolling motor, don't expect to troll all day or get an extra battery.

This light does not come with a pole. It is not very heavy so the height and size of the pole is up to you. It would also be determined by how high up you wish to mount. I would say at least a 5 or 6 in pole would do. You have to remember in order to change out the electric eye or the bulb you will need a pole strong enough to support a ladder to get up to the light. If you get a pole or post to small it may not support a ladder and the weight of the climber sitting one up for an acident.

You will need to purchase a 50A SB power pole housing and add your own wires with ring terminals on them. We recommend to use #10 gauge, and limit the additional distance to < 5 ft.

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore.

From 17-20MPH is the best I can tell over a year of use. Mine is mounted about 15 ' high on a 14 ' post cemented 2' into the ground with a small pole adapter I had wielded from the Gudcraft pole mount kit. Maybe another 10' to clear most surrounding trees would help but unless you have winds that prevail from a particular direction not the hit you from every direction type buy another one with more blades. I have two 250 watt solar panels that create about 85-90% of our power. Best of luck

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

I used a standard clamp with the v end for pole mounting and mounted the clamp vertical. shoot me an e-mail address and I can send you a picture of the clamps mounting the lights,zeke daguv808@gmail.com

a single wire isn't going to keep the critters out. For my application I had a wire fence 36 inches high with the 'hot' wire suspended on insulating supports about 4 inches above the fence to stop them from climbing over. Yes the device requires a grounding post off one of the terminals and the wire runs off the other terminal around the fence and stops before being attached to the device again. The batteries don't last more than a month and If I were doing it again I would have gotten a solar powered device.

longer than you think you will need...it never fails, you need a jump and you're parked the wrong way, I will say that the 20 footer is the minimum

As mentioned by others, drive in a ground rod and hook it to the negative terminal. We used a length of 1/2" hard copper tubing as the ground rod and used a commercial ground clamp to hook the wire to. Our ground rod is only driven in to a depth of 12" in clay soil and works fine. We anchor the positive wire to raised vegetable beds with plastic insulators purchased at a feed store. We have watched groundhogs do backflips when the wire was touched. Caution: Any leaves touched by the wire will be fried and continued contact will tend to shorten battery life. Also, be sure the light blinks when the unit is turned on.

I would mount unit within 10 Ft max, I used a cobra wire kit. I used quality extension cords to get power where I needed it as it was a lot cheaper than purchasing 0 gauge wire.

If its on your roof use one like the one I ordered here HDTV Antenna Mount - 20in If you want it on a pole I would either put 1" metal outdoor conduit pole plumb in ground and either put a bag of sack crete around it or do what I seen someone do put it in a 5 gal bucket and pour sackcrete in around it.

You may need to purchase a bracket for a bow mount. Depending on where your battery is you may need extra wire and connectors. We got the wire, connectors and zip ties at the hardware store. Ours is bow mounted and the battery is at the transom.
