PRO-67-B V.2.S
CAUTIONS
< > In an attempt to keep the weight of the antenna down to a minimum, we are using a .035 wall on the small, single
end tips. In their area of use, they are as strong as a heavier-walled piece. However, WHEN SECURING WITH THE #8
STAINLESS SHEET METAL SCREW, DON’T OVER TIGHTEN! Seat the screw flush with the tubing and stop.
< > CAUTION: Trap Assemblies are color coded on one end of the trap tubing.
THIS COLOR-CODE SHOULD ALWAYS GO TOWARD THE BOOM. INSERT TOWARD THE CENTER. REVERSAL
OF THE TRAPS WILL CAUSE HIGH S.W.R. AND OTHER MALFUNCTIONS.
< > Mark the color-coded ends of the traps by placing masking tape on the metal trap cover and note the side and color
on the trap. This will solve any problems if the color code comes off when sanding or placing the penatrox on the trap
tubing. THE TRAPS CAN GO INTO THE 7/8" CONNECTING PIECE EITHER WAY.
< > The various pieces of tubing used on the antenna elements are also color coded on one end. This end always goes
in toward the boom.
< > Deburr tubing and use the enclosed PENATROX.
< > Mount All elements on TOP SIDE of Boom!
< > Review the drawings and READ the instructions before starting assembly.
< > Follow all safety procedures in assembly and raising of this beam. When installing the antenna, make sure the
tower, all other associated hardware, and components are rated correctly for this antenna!
< > Avoid power lines and other electrical hazards!
< > Make sure you and the people helping you use good judgement and follow all safety rules which would apply.
ASSEMBLY OF BOOM
< > Insert one end of the 48" center boom splice (part 57) into one end of the boom section (part 56) marked #2 in
BLACK. Align the numbers on the splice and boom section so they show 2, 2, this will position the holes correctly, and
secure with screws (part 61), lock washers (part 62) and nuts (part 63). Insert opposite end of splice into the remaining
section boom marked #2 in BLACK (part 58), and secure with hardware (parts 61, 62, 63).
< > The remaining boom sections (54 and 60), can now be attached to the center section at either end. Using
