Method 3: Partial Assembly - Tower Side
Mount
Attach the short length of coaxial cable to the
UHF connector on the bottom of the coil
assembly. The length of this cable may be
increased so that the connection to the feedline
may be easily reached from the tower. Tighten the
connector securely. Thread the cable through the
bottom radiator tubes until the connector can be
seen. Place the bottom of the coil assembly into
the top of the 1" x 61" tube assembly and securely
tighten the No. 10 tubing clamp.
The tower (side-mount) support bracket(s) should
be installed prior to antenna installation. The
antenna should be supported at least 6 feet (2 m)
from the side of the tower for best performance.
Some detuning may be expected even at this
spacing.
Hand-tighten the screws on the radial clamps and
mark the exact position of the radial clamps with
either black tape or a permanent marker before
raising the antenna. Raise the antenna to a
position near the support brackets. Select and
install the eight (8) 7/16" x 52" radial tubes (Item
2) into the radial clamps. Securely tighten all
screws!
Place the antenna on the support. Tighten the 1/4"
bolts first, then install and tighten the 5/16"
hardware as shown in Figure 2. Depending upon
your requirements, you may install the mast-to-
mast clamps on your supporting structure first,
then install the antenna.
Try
this at ground-level
first!
WARNING
Installation of this product near power lines is
dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation
directions.
Converting American
Measurements to Metric
Use this scale to identify lengths of bolts,
diameters of tubes, etc. The American inch (1")
and foot (1') can be converted to centimeters in
this way.
1 inch (1 ") = 2.54
cm 1 foot (1') = 30.48
Example:
42" x 2.54 = 106.7cm
