Versatile Satellite Dish Mounting System

	A: Unlike other hardware products the VERSATILE MountTM allows for streamlined installations of an array of fixed wireless (Broadband) and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) antennas at individual subscriber locations having concrete roofs. Some key benefits of the VERSATILE MountTM include: Non-damaging and can be attached to concrete tiles without drilling or use of epoxy or special tools. Made of high quality steel and powder coat finished for ever lasting corrosion resistance. Assembled in less than 5 minutes by professional installers or do-it-yourselfers. Affordable and may be customized for particular equipment support needs.

	A: The VM2000 - our most popular model of the VERSATILE MountTM, is a “two-tile” mounting base that has been engineered for use with common antenna foots (rhino horns) to site most consumer-grade antennas up to 24” in diameter. A multitude of antennas ranging from planar arrays (flat panels), LNBY’s, dipoles, parabolics and mini-dishes commonly used by WISPs and DBS companies can be effectively supported by a VERSATILE MountTM.


	A: Specific manufacturer’s installation instructions are included with each unit shipped from our warehouse. The VERSATILE MountTM is compatible with all primary styles of standard weight concrete tiles such as flat, low and high profile tiles, and can be simply installed in 3 basic steps: Step 1 - Select Your Spot. Step 2 - Ready the VERSATILE Mount^TM Step 3 - Secure the Assembly.


	A: The VERSATILE MountTM attaches directly to concrete roofs, which are more durable and offer far superior resistance to wind and other extreme weather conditions than any other roof surfacing material. The weight of the individual tiles and the single standard fastening (interlocking) measures helps to keep the tiles securely in place in areas with wind speeds up to 80 miles per hour. In areas of higher winds, there are alternative fastening methods that can be utilized to withstand up to 140 mile per hour wind speeds. In select areas designated by the building official as high wind regions, all tiles must be mechanically fastened at all slopes. In isolated cases, these ancillary devices could prohibit the ease of use of this product. But all things considered, the VERSATILE MountTM is a very viable antenna-mounting tool that quite simply, WORKS!


	A: First of all, roof tile has been used successfully throughout history, from Neolithic China to present day North America. Travel anywhere in the world from Asia, Europe and South America and you'll find beautiful tile roofs, often on very simple structures. Furthermore, tile roofs have withstood some of the most hazardous weather conditions on Earth: fire, windstorms, earthquakes, hail, sub-zero temperatures, hurricanes, and scorching heat. Secondly, concrete roof tile is made of cement, sand, water and oxides for color. These raw materials are precisely mixed to ensure consistency, extruded through a high-pressure section onto shaped molds, which are then cut into individual tiles having nail holes stamped into them. As a result of this detailed manufacturing process, concrete tile has a product life cycle that is proven to become even stronger with age unlike most other roof surfacing materials.

	A: Standard weight concrete roof tile is a much more prevalent roofing product than are fragile clay tiles, which are normally used on very high-end custom homes. When installed, concrete tiles “interlock” with one another like a puzzle, whereas clay tiles typically require a visible bed of mortar to be sandwiched between adjoining tiles. Also on the market to a much lesser extent are “lightweight” concrete tiles that are primarily used for re-roofing projects on older homes. All of these tiles have decidedly different physical properties even though they are tested to the same ASTM standards in most cases. Some of the chief advantages of concrete tile over clay tile are the greater color and profile selection, lower installed cost and better walkability representing the primary reasons why it proliferates building communities across the Southwestern United States and Canada.


	A: One of the principle advantages of using the VERSATILE MountTM – is that under most site conditions you’ll never have to walk on the roof. If an installer must walk on the roof to enhance line-of-sight conditions of the subscriber unit, he/she should exercise due caution. Any sloped surface can be dangerous to walk on and may be slippery if the roof is wet, frosted, ice or snow covered. For safety purposes - stay on the lower third of each tile where your weight is transferred straight onto the roof deck. Avoid stepping on the cut tiles on the hips or valleys and the thin area where the tiles interlock side to side. Most professionals know that if they are going to spend an extraordinary amount of time on a tile roof, they should put down sheets of plywood to dissipate their weight and movements over a large section of roof tiles.

	A: Under most circumstances the VERSATILE MountTM can be used to support many antennas used with various wireless access delivery systems, regardless of location. FCC rule 47 C.F.R., Section 1.4000, as amended, prohibits restrictions that impair a person’s ability to install, maintain, or use a fixed-wireless service antenna. The rule applies to state or local laws or regulations, including zoning, land use or building regulations, private covenants, homeowners’ association rules, condominium or cooperative association restrictions, lease restrictions, or similar restrictions on property where the user has ownership or a leasehold interest in the property.
