Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between FELM and FELM-BK?
A: FELM complete electric folding mount system includes IP65 rated high torque actuator, powder-coated aluminium casing, premium Australian-manufactured 12-24V DC wiring harness, stainless steel fasteners, and full installation guide. FELM-BK mounting bracket provides optional heavy-duty mounting platform for FELM system installation. Purchase FELM for complete electric deployment system, purchase FELM-BK separately when requiring dedicated mounting bracket for professional installation. FELM-BK not required for all installations—verify mounting requirements based on vehicle and installation location.
Q: How does remote operation work from vehicle cab?
A: FELM features electric actuator system controlled via switch or button inside vehicle cab. Connect premium Australian-manufactured wiring harness to vehicle 12V or 24V DC electrical system following installation guide instructions. Activate control switch raising antenna or safety flag to vertical operational position, deactivate switch lowering to horizontal stowed position. Benefits: operator remains safely inside vehicle cab, quick deployment without manual adjustment, protection from weather and hazardous work environments, convenient operation particularly for frequent antenna position changes.
Q: What does IP65 rating mean for FELM actuator?
A: IP65 rating provides high-level protection against environmental hazards. "IP" indicates Ingress Protection, "6" confirms complete dust-tight protection preventing dust entry, "5" indicates protection against water jets from any direction. FELM actuator withstands: heavy dust exposure common in mining and construction, moisture and rain, vehicle washing, mud and dirt, temperature extremes. Not submersible but highly resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Suitable for demanding outdoor industrial applications requiring reliable operation in extreme weather.
Q: Is FELM compatible with safety flags?
A: Yes—FELM specifically designed for both antenna and safety flag applications. Compatible antenna types include 5G, 4G, WLAN, UHF, VHF plus safety flags. Particularly beneficial for mining and construction operations requiring safety flag deployment during equipment operation and stowage during transport. High torque actuator handles safety flag wind loads. Verify specific safety flag weight and wind load specifications ensuring compatibility with FELM actuator capacity before installation.
Q: Can FELM operate on both 12V and 24V vehicles?
A: Yes—FELM premium Australian-manufactured wiring harness certified for 12-24V DC operation providing compatibility with wide range of vehicles. Suitable for: 12V light commercial vehicles and 4WD, 24V heavy trucks and equipment, mining machinery (typically 24V), agricultural equipment (12V or 24V), construction vehicles (typically 24V). Verify vehicle electrical system voltage before installation ensuring proper connection. Wiring harness accommodates both voltage standards eliminating need for separate models.
Q: What antennas are compatible with FELM?
A: FELM compatible with extensive range of antenna types including 5G cellular antennas, 4G/LTE mobile broadband antennas, WLAN/Wi-Fi antennas, UHF CB radio antennas, VHF marine/land mobile antennas, and safety flags. Verify specific antenna weight, wind load, and mounting hardware specifications ensuring compatibility with FELM actuator torque capacity and mounting configuration. Suitable for communication antennas and safety equipment requiring remote deployment capability. Multiple mounting positions accommodate various antenna types and sizes.
Q: Does FELM include mounting bracket?
A: FELM includes complete electric folding mount system with actuator, aluminium casing, wiring harness, stainless steel fasteners, and installation guide. Optional FELM-BK mounting bracket sold separately providing dedicated heavy-duty mounting platform. FELM-BK recommended for: vehicles lacking suitable mounting surface, installations requiring adjustable mounting angles, professional installations demanding maximum stability. FELM can be mounted directly to suitable vehicle surfaces without FELM-BK when adequate mounting structure exists. Assess specific vehicle and installation requirements determining if FELM-BK mounting bracket necessary.
Q: Is professional installation required for FELM?
A: FELM installation suitable for experienced DIY installers with mechanical and electrical skills. Full step-by-step installation guide included with detailed wiring diagrams, connection instructions, and torque specifications. Installation requires: secure mounting surface or optional FELM-BK bracket, electrical connection to vehicle 12V/24V DC system, proper wire routing and protection, control switch mounting inside cab, mechanical assembly skills, basic electrical knowledge.
