Secure the 

DXE-PS-2B-P

 to the tower between the two stacked antennas using the included 

DXE-

SSVC-2P

 V Saddle Clamp. 

 
Use Anti-Seize or Never-Seez® on all stainless steel hardware to prevent galling. 
 
Install the 

DXE-PS-2B-P

 with the connectors facing down.  

 
The coaxial cable from the 

upper

 Yagi is connected to 

ANT 2

.  

The coaxial cable from the 

lower

 Yagi is connected to 

ANT 1

.  

The feedline from the 

transmitter

 is connected to 

INPUT

.   

 
 
 
 
 
Fasten all cables to the  
tower to relieve strain, and  
gently droop the cables to form a  
drip loop (do not use tight bends with  
coaxial cable).  
 
 

Note:  

Do not seal the green connector! The 

connector is recessed inside a drip edge that prevents 
water from getting into connector. The cover-to-
connector plate junction is not sealed so the unit can 
"breathe” and eliminate condensation. 

 

 
 
The following table designates the sequence of antenna ports selected when using the 

EC-PS2

 

Switch Console.
