location, landscape and ground conditions may require different mounting solutions in order to have
the steel mounting pipe and the vertical antenna in a secure position.
Note: Galvanized steel, rather than aluminum, is much more suitable for mounting in concrete.
Aluminum will quickly corrode due to incompatibility with the materials used to make
concrete.
Assembly
The
DXE-40VE-2
is shipped in multiple boxes. Carefully unpack the boxes and identify the parts
using the parts list.
Note: DXE-P8A Penetrox™ A Anti-Oxidant
should be used between all antenna element
sections. Penetrox™ A is an electrical joint compound to affect a substantial electrical
connection between metal parts such as telescoping aluminum tubing or other antenna
pieces. It ensures high conductivity at all voltage levels by displacing moisture and
preventing corrosion or oxidation.
Note: UMI-81343 Never-Seez®
or
DXE-NSBT8 Anti-Seize
should be used on all clamps,
bolts and stainless steel threaded hardware to prevent galling and to ensure proper
tightening.
Note: The following assembly instructions are based on using a 2" OD Mounting
Pipe, with the DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate option.
