Figure 2 - Radial Wire Hardware Installation
Tilt Base to Mounting Pipe
Install the Tilt Base to the customer supplied
2" OD mounting pipe using the two included
DXE-SSVC-2P
V-Bolt Saddle Clamps
allowing approximately 4-1/2" clearance
between the bottom of the tilt base plate, to
the top of the
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate as
shown in
Figure 3
. The standard 1-1/2"
galvanized water pipe (with its 1.9" OD) is
just fine for this application and can usually
be found at your local home building supply
store.
Make sure the Tilt Base and optional
DXE-
RADP-3
Radial Plate are oriented correctly
for the direction you wish to tilt the antenna.
See
Figure 8
which shows the tilt action.
Tighten the clamps evenly so the length of
the exposed threads is approximately equal.
Figure 3
Any clamp should be tightened evenly from side-to-side with an equal amount of thread above each
nut.
Vertical Base Section
The base section is made up of an EXTREN
®
insulated mounting channel, an aluminum mounting
plate with hardware, two 2" x 3/8" U-Bolt assemblies and the base antenna section which is 2" OD
thick wall, 36" long with a hole drilled at bottom end for the feedpoint hardware.
