I'm sure everyone remembers the topic:
REAAALLLY low Whelen Vortex sounding wail
That Whelen is nowhere CLOSE to regulation placement. But who is to tell them what to do anyway?
Whelen Engineer Company wrote:A WPS-2800 system consisting of 5 or less speaker cells may use a Class 2 or Class 1 utility
pole. For systems consisting of 6 or more speaker cells, a Class 1 utility pole must be used.
The length of the utility pole is consistent regardless of speaker cell quantity. The total
length of the pole referenced within this document is 60 feet. The pole depth of the set pole is
10 feet, leaving a 50 foot pole as measured from the top of the pole to the ground. The utility
pole should be set in accordance with local codes.
The inside area of the pole top mounting bracket will accept a pole that is no greater than
10.00? in diameter. On large scale projects, it is beneficial to order the pole to be ?gained? to
a top diameter of 9.5? +/- .50? for the top 30? section of the utility pole.

I think this may clear some questions up a bit.
