6 - Element Truss Assembly
Figures H, I, J and K show the steps for assembly of the element truss. The truss is not required for mechanical strength, it is provided so the
40 meter element will have the same form as the other X7 elements. The 40 meter element is mechanically designed for 90+ mph wind survival
without the truss. Identify the parts required using the Element Truss Subassembly Parts List. Place 1" (2.5 cm) clamps (88) on EC sections
of element 2" (5.1 cm) from the slotted end of EC. Use the hardware called out in Figure J. Compress the clamp completely. Refer to Figure I
and insert the EF tube into the hole in the V-Block (18). Slide EF as far down as possible. Attach Insulator (71) to drilled end of EF using hardware
shown in Figure H. Connect one end of Phillystran cable (22) to one of the element clamps (88) using three cable clamps (24). Loop the Phillystran
cable through the insulator and attach the loose end to the other element clamp (88) while keeping the cable tight. Secure the cable with 3 cable
clamps (24).
Place plastic cap (31) on drilled end of EF tube. Adjust the 40 meter element to match the other elements by raising the EF tube. Tighten V-
Block (18) bolt to secure EF tube.
