Mounting Instructions
Mounting the Biconical Elements
1.
Once the balun unit is securely
connected to the boom, align the
threads on one of the biconical
elements with the receptacle on
the end of the balun, and then
turn the biconical element until it
is firmly seated in the balun.
2.
Tighten bolt to secure element.
3.
Repeat steps for the remaining biconical element.
4.
Once both elements are connected, attach the input RF coaxial cable to the connector on the rear face of the balun.
Adjusting the Tube Extensions
Each side has six (6) main tubes each with two (2), 0.5m long screw on extensions.
1.
To add and adjust the extensions, screw them onto the elements.
2.
To remove the extensions, unscrew them from the elements.
3.
Extensions must be added to both elements so that the antenna remains symmetrical.
As an added precaution fit high visibility tape or caps to the ends of the elements when
the antenna is in the horizontal position.
