5) Install the antenna mount U-bolts and insulators on the ARB-65 Base Mount. Raise the
telescoped antenna into a vertical position and insert the lower end into the ARB-65
insulators and U-bolts. Tighten the U-bolt hardware securely.
Balun and Radial Installation
1)
Unscrew the balun pipe clamp mounting screws such that the clamps can be fully opened.
Place the balun alongside the antenna mast with the balun pipe clamps located between the
antenna insulating tubing and the UHF connector oriented down. Close the pipe clamps
around the antenna and tighten the clamps securely. The balun pipe clamps provide the
antenna feed. Attach the balun ground wire with the 3/8” lug to a bottom 3/8” U-bolt. See
Figure 4 below.
2)
Attach radials to the ATB-65 using the 3/8” lugs under the U-bolt mounting hardware.
Multiple radials can be attached to each 3/8” lug. Use as many radials as possible –
preferably 16 or more - and make the radials as long as possible.
Final Assembly
1) Place a 4-6” high step ladder alongside the antenna and begin telescoping each section.
Begin with the top section, and telescope this section until you get to the 4-foot marker.
Securely tighten the tubing clamp over the slot in the lower tubing section.
2) Continue telescoping each additional tubing section to its 4-foot mark and securely tighten
each hosing clamp over the slots as you progress. When all sections have been extended, the
antenna has been lengthened to its final 43-foot height.
