MOUNTING TERMINAL HOUSING
Locate the following kits for assembling Terminal Housing
QTY 1
72-0022-01 Terminal Strip Kit (Located in Antenna Sweep Box)
NOTES:
If you ordered the Connector box option this kit will not be included in your antenna. The
Connector Box Option will directly replace the terminal housing and the kit needed for the
terminal housing. Refer to the Connector Box manual for installation.
The terminal housing can be installed anywhere in the middle of the boom. Location is not
that important, as long as all element control cables can reach and the control wire from your
shack will reach. We recommend mounting it as close to the mast plate as possible.
RUNNING ELEMENT CONTROL CABLE
Locate the following kit for securing the control cable to the boom
QTY 1
72-0020-01 Boom Assembly Kit (Located in the Antenna Sweep Box)
NOTES:
Make sure not to bend any control cable over any sharp corners. This could result in damage
that causes a short circuit. Also do not clamp anything over the cables that could possibly
pinch or damage the cable.
When taping the cable start on the ends of the boom and work towards the mast plate. This
will allow you to trim the cable to the exact length if desired.
Unscrew the SS hose clamp 056 (60-6000-40) so that it can be fitted around the boom.
Use the SS hose clamp to secure the terminal housing to the boom or mast. The housing
can be horizontal or vertical.
Regardless of the mounting orientation make sure that the hole in the end cap of the terminal
housing will be facing down when you attach it. This it to allow the housing to drain and pre-
vent water form collecting in the housing.
DO NOT SEAL THE TERMINAL HOUSING
IT NEEDS TO BREATH OUT THE BOTTOM DRAIN HOLE
Secure the cables from the elements to the boom.
Use the electrical tape (09-0001) to secure the cable to the boom
Only two wraps of the tape are needed to hold the cable to the boom.
Tape the cable to the boom approximately every two feet.
Once cable is ran to the terminal housing or connector box it can either be trimmed to length
or coiled up and out of the way.
Wiring up the cable will be done at a later time.
