All users are solely responsible for the installation, use, maintenance, inspection and other work and the
compliance with all local, state and federal requirements.
summation of the projected areas of all antennas, mounts and accessories multiplied by appropriate drag
factors. The tabulated EPA values are in addition to the loading from a 3/8 inch diameter safety cable
assumed to be mounted to each standard tower. The tabulated EPA values are for a no-ice condition. For
design purposes, the tabulated EPA values have been increased 75% when investigating extreme ice
loading conditions.
3. The tabulated EPA values apply to towers located on sites with level grade (ANSI/TIA-222-G Topographic
Category 1). Lower EPA values than tabulated would apply for roof mounted towers or for towers located
4. The RSL standard designs are based on one 1/2 inch transmission line for each 10 square feet of EPA up
to a maximum of 6 lines unless otherwise noted. All lines are assumed to be symmetrically mounted on the
tower faces adjacent to a leg.
5. The total weight of all antennas and mounts associated with the tabulated EPA values is assumed to
equal 500 pounds for the no-ice condition and 1000 pounds for the extreme ice condition.
6. The tabulated EPA values assume the associated antennas and appurtenances are symmetrically
mounted unless otherwise noted. Eccentric loading may increase member forces and may require a
reduction of the tabulated EPA values. Mounting arrangements are assumed to be appropriate for the
supporting members utilized. Contact ROHN if assistance is needed in determining the adequacy of a
7. The RSL standard top mast is designed to support a maximum EPA of 5 square feet with 100 pounds
vertical load. Other optional top mounts are available upon request. All other loading is assumed to be
mounted to the tower below the top mast.
8. The standard RSL tower kits that include dish loading criteria meet ANSI/TIA-222-G twist and sway
requirements for a 6 GHz dish frequency. All dishes are assumed to be face mounted. Contact ROHN for
assistance with higher frequency or other mounting arrangement applications.
