OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The SAS-542 Biconical Antenna is shipped with the elements detached from
the balun. Attach each element to the Biconical balun tee assembly.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The SAS-542 biconical antenna is supplied with an ABC-B Balun mounting
clamp. The ABC-B has a 1/4-20 mounting holes on the base of the clamp.
Attach the antenna to the ABC-B mounting clamp, azimuth and elevation head
(AEH-510) through the screw hole in the antenna base. The azimuth and
elevation head (AEH-510) mounts to the tripod (ATU-510) top and allows the
antennas to be rotated 360 degrees and tilted between horizontal and vertical
polarization. Each tripod leg is independently adjustable in angle and length to
facilitate antenna height setting. The tripod legs have a rubber tip on one end
for indoor or hard surface use, and a metal spike on the other end for outdoor
soft surface (such as dirt) use.
Mount the antenna such that the elements are parallel to the ground for
horizontal polarization testing, or perpendicular to the ground for vertical testing.
The horizontal beamwidth of the biconical antenna is approximately 60 degrees
and it should be pointed or aimed in the direction that the received signal is
coming from.
