DXE-TB-4P with DX Engineering Verticals:

  

 

If you are installing the optional Tilt Base to a DX Engineering 

DXE-30VA-1

DXE-40VA-1

 or 

DXE-40VE-1

 vertical antenna, the included smaller mounting plate will be installed on the antenna 

insulated channel in place of the existing (larger non-tilt) mounting plate.  
 

 

For retrofits

 (installing the Tilt Base after you have already assembled the 

vertical antenna) follow Steps 1 through 3. 

 

For new installations

, use Step 3. Use the smaller mounting plate instead of the 

larger mounting plate. Then continue using the DX Engineering antenna 

installation manual that is included with your antenna. 

 

 

 

1.  Remove the antenna from the mounting pipe. Install the Tilt Base plate on the mounting pipe 

using two 

DXE-SSVC-2P

 Stainless Steel Clamps as shown in

 Figures 1& 2

. Allow 

approximately 4" to 7" space between the bottom of the Tilt Plate to the top of the optional 
Radial Plate (depending on original antenna installation options - refer to your antenna 
installation manual for details). 

 
2.   Remove the existing mounting plate from the insulated channel. Reference
