AV-6160 43-Foot Vertical Antenna Instructions revJ

Use a plumb to determine the proper location for the ATB-65 Base Mounting assembly and the
mounting pipe. Now simply bury 2-1/2 feet of the mounting pipe in the ground with drainage
gravel at the base, and tamp the fill soil snugly around the pipe. Use a level to ensure that the
mounting pipe is vertical.
ATB-65 Base Mounting Installation
Attach the ATB-65 Base Mounting assembly to the mounting pipe using two of the U-bolts, pipe
clamps and associated hardware supplied in the ATB-65 kit. The U-bolts should be placed in the
outer mounting holes and the mounting plate. Tighten the U-bolt nuts securely.
AV-6160 Tubing Preparation:
1) Except for the 2”OD 6-foot aluminum tube and the 1”OD tube, measure 8 inches from the
un-slotted end of each tube and clearly mark this position with a permanent felt marker.
You will use these marks when telescoping the antenna to its full length. Mark the 1”OD
6-foot tube one foot from the end. When each section is overlapped 8 inches into the
next and the top section is overlapped 12 inches, this should make the antenna length 43
feet.
2) Slide two tubing clamps over the 1.75”, 1.625”, 1.500”, 1.325”, 1.250”, and 1.125” OD
aluminum tubes. Use the appropriately-sized tubing clamps for the particular aluminum
tubes. Securely tighten one clamp just below the slot cut in the tubes, but leave the
second clamp loosely fitted over the tube slot. The tightened clamp will keep the tubes
from falling into each other when the antenna is vertically placed prior to telescoping the
individual sections. See Figure 3.
3) Place a #28 (largest) tubing clamp over the bottom 2”OD tube, and tighten over the slot just
enough to keep the tubing clamp from falling.
4) Progressively telescope each of the aluminum tubing sections into each other, starting with
the top section.
