SPS can be used to attach equipment to a gantry along with a drop tube and brackets in order to support a catenary wire. You can attach the equipment while attaching a catenary wire to the structure or by editing an existing wire point.

Step 2: Access the 'Configure Wire' form
This can be done by creating a new wire, attaching a wire or editing an existing wire point.
Step 3: Click the 'Equipment' box
This will expand the 'Configure' Wire form and allow you to attach Equipment to the structure.
Step 4: Click the Gantry
If the Wire is attached to a Poral you will see both of the Masts and the Gantry listed.
Step 5: Adjust SPS position
Adjust values for the Distance From Wire/Offset from Support.
Distance From Wire: This is the distance between the Wire point and centre of the SPS measured in metres
Offset from Support: This is the distance between the centre of the Mast and centre of the SPS measured in metres
