PRO-67-B V.2.S
ASSEMBLY OF DRIVEN ELEMENTS
< >
FDE = Forward Driven Element, Color-Coded BROWN.
< >
Loosely
install 8 plastic insulators (part 2) on the rectangle support plate (part 1) with lock washers and screws
(parts 3,4). Place plastic caps (part 65) on the inboard end of the element sections (part 7) color coded BROWN.
Place one element section into the “
v
” on the insulators (part 2) so that the screw hole on the outboard end is facing
DOWN.. (This is necessary to assure proper position of trap assemblies which are provided with breather holes and
should always face DOWN).
< > Insert screw (part 5) through lock washer (part 3), the small hole on one end of the phasing line through the
element (part 6) and into the insulator (part 2). Insert screw (part 5) through the lock washer (part 3), element (part 7)
and into the insulator (part 2).
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS INTO INSULATOR BLOCKS....
< > Place the other element section (part 7) color coded BROWN over the opposite side insulators (part 2), insert
screw (part 5) through lock washer (part 3), through the corresponding hole on the phasing line (part 27), the element
(part 7) and into the insulator (part 2).
< > Insert screw (part 5) through lock washer (part 3), element (part 7) and into the insulator (part 2). Tighten all
screws in the element supports, BUT do not over tighten screws. Tighten enough to set lock washers.
< > Continue assembly by inserting the BROWN coded end of the remaining sections and trap into the corresponding
end of the next element coded brown. (Parts 7, 8, 9, 10, 37) Secure elements with screw (part 6).
ASSEMBLY OF RED BACK DRIVEN ELEMENT
< > Repeat the above procedure on the BACK RED DRIVEN ELEMENT, following the RED color code.
< > The difference between the RED and BROWN radiators is that the RED has more element sections in the element
and has radials on the end tips. Also note that the ends of the "
RED
" 3/8" tubing is tapped to accept a 5/16-18 set
screw.
< > Add the remaining end sections and choose the setting you wish for 40 meters on the last end tip section of 3/8"
tubing. Attach the 2 end radials to the 3/8" tubing with (Part 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21). Arrange evenly on the
element so the radials form an “
+
”.
