Installation of Balun Assembly to Antenna Lower Section 

 
The completed balun with balun mounting bracket assembly ise mounted to the 
antenna lower section. To allow easy installation of the UNUN Bracket to the 
lower base section, open the upper and lower custom studded element clamps as 
shown.  
 
 
Position the balun and mounting bracket so the bottom element clamp is located 
between the lower element bolt and the black insulator shown below. Tighten the 
element clamps to hold the assembly in place. Also tighten the Nyloc nuts that hold the studded element 
clamps to the bracket. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Clamps open, Clamp Ends inserted to go around the antenna element 

Tighten in place with Balun facing outward 

 
Balun Connections 

 

The Balun connections are attached to the antenna connection using one 7” wire 
with ring terminals and one 10.5” wire with ring terminals. Connect the 7” wire 
with terminals from the antenna feedpoint located on the antenna element to the 
terminal on the Balun closest to the 

Red "+"

 on the label as shown below. Do not 

over tighten the wing nuts. Hand tighten them only, do not use pliers or other tools 
to over tighten the wing nuts. 
 
Connect the 10.5" wire with ring terminals from the terminal on the Balun closest 
to the 

Black "▬"

 on the label to the bolt holding the angle plate as shown.  

 
Use the two 
included external 
tooth washers when 
installing the wires 
with terminals on 
to the Balun as 
shown.
