Note: JTL-12555 Jet-Lube™ SS-30 Anti-Oxidant should be used between all antenna
element sections. Jet-Lube™ SS-30 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.
Jet-Lube™ SS-30 should also be used on all element clamps and stainless steel threaded
hardware to provide good electrical contact, prevent galling, allowing easier disassembly and to
ensure proper tightening.
Note: The following assembly instructions are based on using a 2" OD (maximum)
Mounting Pipe already installed per the previous instructions.
Radial Plate to Mounting Pipe
Install the included
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate (patented) on the 2" OD mounting pipe using the
included
DXE-SSVC-2P
V-Bolt Saddle 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. Position the Radial Plate with the feedpoint
hardware hole as shown in
Figure 3.
This will ensure the Tilt Base action will not interfere with the
feedline wire assembly. The
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate comes with 20 sets of stainless steel
hardware for mounting the radial wires. For reference,
Figure 11
shows the completed antenna
installation.
