Choose from the complete load: 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.

Use these selection checks

  • Use the Delta Guy Ring for the documented MPAS 2.0, MPAS Lite, BV, SS17, SS25, and CFM-16 path.
  • 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.

Confirm the support chain

  • The Delta and Mast Guy Rings are not interchangeable merely because either can touch a mast.
  • The Mast Guy Ring is documented for 24-26 mm sections and the guide height limits.
  • Guying stabilizes a supported antenna; it does not increase the antenna or mast load rating.
  • Use the antenna and mast guides together when either imposes a stricter height or guying rule.

Reject the plan when

  • Never set lines or stakes where people or vehicles can cross them.
  • Do not overtension and bend the mast.
  • Lower the structure if stakes move, ground softens, wind rises, or any line is damaged.
  • Keep the entire system away from power lines and uncontrolled public access.

Price and physical fit come after the site, load, and complete configuration. If any published limit is missing, do not silently invent one; reduce the load or ask Chameleon technical support to review the exact installation.
