WARNING:
For your safety, do not install any antenna near power lines and
carefully follow all installation instructions. Always use safety devices for
tower climbing. Ensure that the tower structure is well grounded for
lightning protection.
If the antenna falls toward or contacts any overhead wires, IMMEDIATELY
LET GO and stay away. Contact the utility company for assistance.
IMPORTANT - BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND MOUNTING
Both clamps must be properly installed and spaced to prevent antenna rotation from
wind load. Make sure you have all parts ready prior to installation, see on the right.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The welded mounting slots are intended to be placed against the support
structure when used with the supplied clamp set. When using any other clamp set,
the mounting slots should be turned to one side, out of contact with the
support.
2. Apply anti-seize compound to the ends of each u-bolt. Place a loosly assembled
clamp over the top of the mast. Feed the antenna base ferrule down through the
clamp until aligned with the upper attachment point. Tighten down the hex nuts
and straighten the antenna until clamped into a vertical position.
3. Attach and secure the lower antenna clamp with the supplied hex nuts and lock
washers, to provide reasonable pressure to the support structure and antenna base
ferrule.
4. Connect RF feed cable terminated with Type-N or 7-16 DIN as required to
antenna input connector. Secure all cables with UV-Resistant cable ties.
5. Be sure to properly seal the input connector with waterproof tape or other sealing
material. Refer to Telewave TWDS-0502 for a recommended method of connector
sealing.
