TRIPOD AND MOUNTING ADPTERS 

 

ATU-510 Tripod  
AEH-510 Azimuth and Elevation Head 

 

The  azimuth  and  elevation  head  (AEH-510)  mounts  to  the  tripod  (ATU-510)  top 
and  allows the  antennas  to  be rotated  360  degrees  and tilted  between  horizontal 
and vertical polarization. The tripod and azimuth and elevation head come in their 
own carrying case. Each tripod leg is independently adjustable in angle and length 
to facilitate antenna height setting. The tripod legs have a rubber tip on one end for 
indoor  or  hard  surface  use,  and  a  metal  spike  on  the  other  end  for  outdoor  soft 
surface (such as dirt) use.

 

 
 

TRANSIT STORAGE CASES 

 
TCC-510 Tripod Carrying Case 
TSC-542 Transit Storage Case 

 

The  antenna  carrying  case  (TSC-542)  prevents  damage  and  loss  of  antennas 
when storing or transporting the antenna kit. The case is constructed of lightweight 
and durable polyethylene. Two case keys are provided with the case.

 

 

 

 

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 

 

The AK-4G case comes with three additional cutouts for optional preamplifiers. 
In  order  to  improve  overall  system  sensitivity,  the  following  equipment  will  be 
required: 
 

 

PAM-0204 with an SAC-211-0.5

 

 

 

PAM-0204 Preamplifier 20 MHz 

– 4 GHz

 

The  preamplifier  will  increase the system  sensitivity  24  dB  and  is recommend  for 
the SAS-510-4 and SAS-530,542. An optional short length cable (SAC-211-0.5), is 
required to connect the preamplifier to any 50-ohm receiver or spectrum analyzer.
