Build from the base upward: CHA UGS 2.0 is the field guying kit that turns a swaying whip or mast into a controlled three-line support. It includes 30 ft guy lines, 15 in stakes, tensioners, and the ring system needed for documented small-diameter verticals and larger CFM masts.
Deployment sequence
- Place the correct ring at the guide-defined height.
- Arrange three guy lines about 120 degrees apart.
- Leave controlled slack while placing stakes, then tension evenly until the structure is vertical with little play.
- Keep every line visible and outside uncontrolled walkways.
Before raising the antenna
- Use the Mast Guy Ring for CFM-34, CFM-34HD, or an appropriate 24-26 mm mast section below 25 ft on a mast no taller than 36 ft.
- Plan a guy radius around 60-100 percent of the ring height as the guide describes.
- Allow one operator under 10 minutes only after the site and complete system are practiced.
Before transmitting
- Confirm every mast section, clamp, mount, adapter, guy line, antenna attachment, coax route, and RF-return conductor.
- Begin RF checks at low power after the final geometry is stable.
- Record the exact configuration so a successful setup can be reproduced.
- Never set lines or stakes where people or vehicles can cross them.
- Do not overtension and bend the mast.
Use the current CHA UGS 2.0 instructions.
