Locate the 12 Element Clamps.
Figure 9
Refer to
Figure 11
for element clamp sizes and locations. Slide the clamps over each section
before putting them together. Align the clamps on each section facing the same direction. For final
assembly, all the clamps should be positioned very close to the top of each section and the body of
the clamp should be positioned between the slits as shown in
Figure 9
.
Making sure dirt or grass does not adhere to the sections to be joined, insert the marked end of an
element tube into the next sized element tube until the 6 inch mark on the element tube is even with
the top of the larger element tube section. Position one of the element clamps at the very end, but
not hanging over the edge. Make sure the body of the element clamp is positioned between the slits
and tighten securely. Repeat the procedure with the marked end of the elements and the other
element tubes using one of the element clamps as you work your way up the antenna length.
Continue mating the smaller tubes inside the larger ones. Double-check the vertical sections you
have just assembled.
Using a felt tip pen,
measure and mark the
antenna
sections
as
shown in
Figure 10
.
Position one of the
DXE-
ECL-24SS
clamps at the
very end, but not hanging
over. Make sure the body
of the clamp is positioned
between the slits and
tighten securely. Repeat
the procedure for the
sections
using
the
Element
Clamps
as
shown in
Figure 11
.
