When using the
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate, the VFCC shelf bracket should mounted so there is
approximately 1/8" to 1/4" gap between the insulated shelf bracket and the Radial Plate mounting tab. The
VFCC requires approximately 7” clearance from the radial plate to the bottom of the tilt-base to allow the
tilt-base to operate with no interference. Your set up may vary and dimensions may be adjusted. Use
Figures
2
and
3
for orientation.
Mount the VFCC and the Mounting Bracket to the Insulated Shelf as shown in
Figure 1
.

After mounting the VFCC as shown in
Figures 2
and
3
, connect the 8.5"
braid to the bottom of the vertical antenna. Make sure you are using the
terminal closest to the
Red "
D
"
in
D
X ENGINEERING
on the VFCC
label. Route the braid as shown in
Figure 2
.
Connect the 7.5" braid from the other VFCC terminal to the closest radial
wire bolt on the radial plate or ground system.
When making connections to the terminals, the braid should be placed
between the flat washers.
The wing nuts should be hand tightened
only.
Do not use pliers or other tools to tighten them as excessive force
may damage the internal connections or the ceramic insulators.
