WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES IS DAN-
GEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: AT NO TIME DURING ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT
OR OPERATION SHOULD ANY PART OF THIS PRODUCT BE ALLOWED TO
COME INTO CONTACT WITH ELECTRIC POWER LINES, NOR SHOULD THIS
PRODUCT BE INSTALLED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ANY PART OF IT MAY CON-
TACT POWER LINES DURING NORMAL OPERATION OR IN THE EVENT OF
STRUCTURAL FAILURE. FAILURE TO EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN THIS
MATTER CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY OR
EVEN DEATH!
As with all directional antennas, care must be taken in the choice of an installation site for your
Butterfly™ beam. Pick a place clear of POWER LINES or other obstructions. It should be
mounted at least 20 to 25 feet above the ground for proper operation. It should also be able to
rotate without hitting anything and should not be near any large masses of metal such as metal
roofs or siding. If you have metal siding or a metal roof, plan to mount your beam 20 feet or
more above it.
Before you start assembling the antenna, read through the instructions so that you will have a
general idea of what you will have to do and what the finished antenna will look like. When you
unpack the box, do so on a surface where you will not lose the small parts. Check the parts
against the parts list so that you will know what each part looks when the instructions call for you
to use it.

- Page 4 BUTTERFLY™ ASSEMBLY The Butterfly™ elements of the antenna will be assembled first, then attached to the boom. The antenna can then be installed fully assembled on the mast. Although the antenna can rest on the ground for a short time, it is best to have your mast and rotor in place before assembly. NOTE: Mast, rotor and sup- porting structure are not included with the antenna.
- Page 5 Once all the parts are properly aligned, the hardware may be given a final tightening and the whole ele- ment may be set aside temporarily. 10. Repeat procedures 1 through 9 for the assembly of the second Butterfly™ element, except that there is no coil to be installed.
- Page 6 DRIVEN ELEMENT ASSEMBLY This completes assembly of the driven element. Check to see that all hardware is tight but do not over tighten the clamps and bend them out of shape. Set the driven element aside. REFLECTOR ASSEMBLY In the following steps you will complete assembly of the reflector element. Again, use a light coating of anti-oxide compound where clamps attach to tubes or rods.
- Page 7 A lighting arrestor is a good idea. Follow local codes and the instructions with the arrestor. Install the coax feedline as shown. Make a 10 turn coil of coax 6" in diameter and tape it to the boom. Your 10/11 Butterfly™ beam is horizontally polarized.
