1. Assemble the aerial to a suitable mast
Fix the aerial to a mast using the clamp assembly as shown.
Check that all fixings are tight.
The diagram shows the aerial positioned for horizontal
polarisation (see section 5). For vertical polarisation turn the
aerial through 90° from the position shown.
This aerial will provide good reception in many locations when
mounted in a clear outdoor position. However reception in
weaker signal areas may require the use of a higher gain aerial
and/or a taller mast.
2. Fit F connector to downlead cable
Prepare the cable end and fit the screw-on Type F plug as
shown. (The inner wire of the cable should extend slightly
beyond the end of the plug.)
3. Connect cable to aerial
Offer up the Type F plug on the 10m
cable to the socket on the aerial lead.
Ensure that the inner wire of the plug
enters the centre contact of the
socket. Screw the nut part of the
plug onto the socket body and
tighten, preferably using a pair of
spanners (11 mm).
Do not leave
the connector finger-tight as this
may lead to unreliable reception.
Finally slide the waterproofing sleeve
as far as it will go over the connectors.
If the sleeve is tight on the aerial lead
a little silicone grease or petroleum
jelly can be applied as a lubricant. It
is important that the sleeve and
completed cable assembly are
supported at or near the vertical in
order to prevent water ingress.
