General Installation Information
The DVA Dual Vertical Array Phasing Relay Unit should be mounted to a customer supplied
mounting pipe at the center of the array, halfway between the two monoband verticals.
The DVA Dual Vertical Array Phasing Relay Unit has a built-in, stainless steel, pre-drilled
mounting flange to accommodate up to a 2 inch OD mounting pipe. The included
DXE-SSVC-2P
Stainless Steel V-Bolt Saddle Clamp is for attaching the Phasing Relay Unit to the customer
supplied 1" to 2" OD mounting pipe. An optional
DXE-CAVS-1P V-Bolt Saddle clamp can be
used for pipe from 3/4" to 1-3/4" inches OD. The Phasing Relay Unit can also be mounted on a
sturdy wooden post.
Note:
JTL-12555 Jet-Lube SS-30 Anti-Seize should be used on all clamps, bolts and stainless steel
threaded hardware to prevent galling and to ensure proper tightening.
The Array Phasing Relay Unit
must be mounted with cover upward and the control and coaxial
cable connections downward to prevent water from entering the box. The stainless steel base of the
Array Phasing Relay Unit has weep holes to allow condensation that may build up inside the unit to
