2)
Locate 2 PVC clips. Go to the mesh end opposite the self-tapping screw. Pull the mesh tight and secure the mesh to
the 1” x 1” box beam with the two PVC clips. Place a clip at each edge. Please note the remaining sides of the mesh are
not secured to the frame.
3)
Repeat the procedure with the remaining 3 sides of the basket, securing the remaining 24” x 26 ½ ” mesh sections.
4)
Now orient the mesh basket exposing the bottom and the multitude of 1/8” screw holes on the 1” x 1” beams or top side
down. Locate the remaining two mesh pieces that are 12” x 26 ½ ”. Place these two pieces over the bottom of the basket
aligning the mesh edges with the frame edges on three sides. Make sure that the mesh does not touch the aluminum mast
with the hose clamp. This will not happen if the mesh is placed so it just covers the frame.
5)
Twenty screws attach the two 12” x 26 ½ ” mesh sections to the frame and complete the mechanical assembly.
5.0 Flat mount configuration
The flat mount configuration will allow the antenna to sit on a roof, the ground, in an attic, patio or porch. To
facilitate this, it is recommended you put something similar to four cinder blocks under each corner of the collector
grid.
1)
Find the PVC section with the hole and rivets. Place the PVC in the mount bracket on the 2” x 2” x 24” angle
bracket, so the U-bolt on the mount bracket sits in between the two rivets on the PVC. Rotate this PVC
section, to line the hole in the PVC with the two Relay Bracket holes on the angle bracket. Gently snug the U-
bolt to secure the PVC it will be tightened later.
MAKE SURE THE U-BOLT DOES NOT CONTACT EITHER RIVET
