Weatherproof the coaxial cable connection using Loctite Dielectric Grease (

LCT-37534

) and if additional 

weatherproofing is required for your installation, use Temflex Tape (

TES-2155

) and Vinyl Tape (

TES-

06132

) as a UV overwrap. 

 
For the 

DXE-RSEAV-1FVI

 the included 120 Vac 60 Hz, to 12 Vdc wall transformer DC 

power supply connects to the +12 Vdc input. The center of the 2.1mm power plug is 
positive. Larger power supplies or station power may also be used provided there is an in-
line 1 ampere fast-blow fuse. The RCA phono jack on the 

DXE-FVI-1

 connects to the 

receiver input with a customer supplied cable.

 

 
Active antenna circuitry needs a good voltage supply to operate properly. Supplied power needs to be +11.5 
to +15 VDC, 25 mA minimum at each active (under load). 
 
The 

DXE-FVI-1

 is not included or used in the multi-element vertical sets. Power is applied to the coax when 

Bias Tee Enable internal jumpers are set in the 

DXE-NCC-2

, or by the Four-Square or Eight Circle Array 

Relay Unit. The AVA-3 can also be powered by a separate DC coaxial cable to the Optional DC Power type-
F connector, with internal jumpers reset; see page 8. 

 

 

 

 
Coaxial Cable Feedline 

 

A good flooded 75 Ω feedline cable is recommended for use with the 

RSEAV

 systems. 

DXE-RG6UFQ

 

Flooded 75 Ω Quad Shield Coaxial Cable has improved shielding. Flooded style cables have the distinct 
advantage of automatically sealing small accidental cuts or lacerations of the jacket. Flooded cable also 
prevents shield contamination and has a gummy liquid inside that seals cuts or nicks, displaces water, and 
can be direct buried. 

 
The feedline carries the RF and is used to provide power for the AVA-3 Active 
Matching Unit.

 

DXE-EX6XL-25 

Compression type F connectors are recommended for 

quad shield coax to ensure high quality and weather resistant feedline connections. Use 
the proper tool to crimp these connectors.  
 

To help decouple the feedline from radiated noise, bury the feedline for some distance from the antenna 
when the feedline reaches the ground. A 

DXE-RFCC-1 

DX Engineering Receive Feedline Choke will also 

ensure feedline decoupling, which may be installed in-line, preferably at the station end. 
 
To seal out moisture, the use of Dielectric Grease is recommended for type F connectors, such as Permatex 

PTX-22058

 or Loctite 

LCT-37534

.  

 

Never use anti-seize on any coaxial RF or power connector. 

 

Troubleshooting Information 

 
When using the 

DXE-RSEAV-1 

Active Receive Vertical antenna, the actual received signal level will be 

lower than a transmit antenna. Depending upon a few variables, including the frequency of the measured 
signal, your 

DXE-RSEAV-1

 Active Receive Vertical is probably operating normally.  

 
The 

DXE-RSEAV-1

 is designed to be a very low to no gain, low noise system for greatly improved signal-

to-noise performance over a very wide range of frequencies.
