Optional Items UPPORT Antenna mount with insert drilled to accept ETS-Lindgren or other tripods with standard 1/4–20 threads. RIPOD ETS-Lindgren offers the following non-metallic, non-reflective tripods for use at both indoor and outdoor EMC test sites. • 4-TR Tripod—Constructed of linen phenolic and delrin, designed with an adjustable center post for precise height adjustments.
• 7-TR Tripod—Constructed of PVC and fiberglass components, providing increased stability for physically large antennas. The unique design allows for quick assembly, disassembly, and convenient storage. Allows several different configurations, including options for manual or pneumatic polarization. Quick height adjustment and locking wheels provide ease of use during testing.
Customer Service. Maintenance Recommendations If the Model 3144 Log Periodic Dipole Array Antenna is used outdoors, periodic removal of the antenna cable connection and cleaning of any corrosion may be needed to maintain accuracy of the measurements. An inspection to determine the need for cleaning should be made at least every six months.
4.0 Mounting & Assembly The Model 3144 antennas are precision measurement devices. Handle your antenna with care. Mount the Model 3144 Log Periodic Dipole Array Antenna first, and then attach the elements to the antenna. Mounting Instructions SING NCLUDED OUNTING...

To attach the included adapters to the Model 3144: If required, insert the 1/4–20 thread insert into the polarizing adapter. Remove the mounting knob from the mounting bracket on the antenna. Slide the polarizing adapter into the mounting bracket by placing the polarizing adapter placed between the shoulders of the mounting bracket.
Attach the polarizing adapter and antenna to tripod or tower, as required. 4-TR M DDITIONAL OUNTING PTIONS Following are additional options for mounting the Model 3144 onto an ETS-Lindgren 4-TR tripod. Contact the ETS-Lindgren Sales Department for information on ordering optional mounting hardware.
DDITIONAL OUNTING PTIONS Following are options for mounting the Model 3144 onto an ETS-Lindgren 7-TR Tripod or mast. Contact the ETS-Lindgren Sales Department for information on ordering optional mounting hardware. Mast refers to 2070 Series, 2075, and 2175 Antenna Towers.
DDITIONAL OUNTING PTIONS Following are additional options for mounting the Model 3144 onto a 2x2 boom. Contact the ETS-Lindgren Sales Department for information on ordering optional mounting hardware. 2x2 boom refers to a typical 2-inch by 2-inch boom.
Assembly Instructions To facilitate transport, the Model 3144 is shipped with the five longest elements on each side removed. After you mount the antenna, follow these assembly steps: • Do not cross thread or permanent damage to the antenna and element could occur.
(immunity) or receiver (emissions). Both horizontal and vertical polarizations are easily accomplished when the Model 3144 is mounted onto a tower or tripod. Due to the length of the low frequency elements, verify element clearance prior to switching the antenna to vertical polarization.
