Support towers may be either lattice masts as illustrated, tubular telomasts or other support 
structures that may be available locally.  It is recommended that the halyards used to support 
the antenna be either UV stabilised dacron chord or wire rope and that pulleys should be of 
stainless steel construction

As with all antenna installations ensure the antenna is as far from sources of electrical 
interference as possible and in a position that makes it impossible for the antenna to come in 
contact with high voltage overhead mains wiring.

912 Multi Wire ANTENNA

 

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Do not unroll antenna wires until the antenna is onsite in a large area

1. Remove the antenna from the box so that the load resistor hangs downwards below the 
    antenna.
 
2. Spread the antenna on the ground as shown below

3. Remove all masking tape.
 
4. Starting at the ends, gently with wire cutters or scissors, remove the cable ties from the first 
    set of three coils of wire. Extend this antenna section as far as possible. Move onto the inner   
    rolls and repeat.

When all cable ties have been removed, the wires must be extended to full length to 
prevent them becoming tangled.

 
If twisting or crossing of the wire occurs during unpacking don't panic and reach for the wire 
cutters.  Instead try to trace the crossed or twisted wire and correct the problem.
