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.
UMI-81343 Never-Seez®
or
DXE-SBT8 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 (maximum) Mounting
Pipe, with the optional DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate.
The standard 1-1/2" galvanized water
pipe (with its 1.9" OD) is just fine for this application and can usually be found at your
local home building supply store.
Radial Plate to Mounting Pipe
Install the optional
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate on the 2" OD (
maximum
) mounting pipe using an
optional
DXE-SSVC-2P
V-Clamp as shown in
Figure 1
. Mount the Radial Plate so you have
approximately 1" of space between the bottom of the plate and the ground level. This will allow
easy access to install the radial wire hardware. The
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate comes with 20 sets
of stainless steel hardware for mounting the radial wires. Mount the plate as shown in relation to
how the Tilt Base is mounted. (For reference,
Figure 7
shows the completed installation.)
