Tilt Base to Mounting Pipe
Install the Tilt Base to the 2" OD mounting pipe using the two
DXE-SSVC-2P
V-Bolt Saddle
Clamps allowing approximately 4-1/2" clearance between the bottom of the tilt base plate, to the top
of the
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate as shown in
Figure 3
. 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.
Make sure the Tilt Base and optional
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate are oriented correctly for the
direction you wish to tilt the antenna. See
Figure 8
which shows the tilt action.
Tighten the clamps evenly so the length of the exposed threads is approximately equal. Any clamp
should be tightened evenly from side-to-side with an equal amount of thread above each nut.

NOTE:
If you are installing the optional
DXE-MBV-ATU-1
Multi-Band Vertical Remote
Antenna Tuner Add-on Kit for 43 Foot Multi-band Vertical Antennas, you will
need 6-1/2" between the bottom of the Tilt Base and the top of the Radial Plate.
Please refer to the
DXE-MBV-ATU-1
manual for details.
