Installation Instructions
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened CAI approved
digital coax cable and screened coax outlets. You will need to fit the coax
cable with an F type connector to connect to the aerial balun.
1. Prepare the Coax Cable: Firstly fit the rubber weather boot
provided, to the aerial end of the cable. Strip the end of the
cable as shown in Fig. 1. Once you have stripped the cable,
twist the braid and pull it back on itself, make sure that no
braid is touching the copper core, this will cause a short on
the cable and you will not get any signal.
2. Fitting the F connector (not supplied): Now, simply twist on
an F connector and trim the central conductor.
Aerial Assembly
Attach the 8 elements to the boom, the arrow on moulding must
point to the front of the aerial, away from the reflector panels.
Ensure the pin on each element moulding locates in the
appropriate hole in the boom (see opposite).
Unscrew the wing nut from the dipole assembly and attach the
dipole to the boom, securing with the wing nut as shown
opposite. The F socket connector must be pointing down and
the flat blade director should face towards the front of the aerial.
