Professional High Gain 32 Element Aerial
LABHG32T
Congratulations on the purchase of your LABHG32T aerial. The aerial is ideal for the reception of all available
signals in strong and medium strength areas. The aerial design has been tuned to minimise reception of signals
above 790MHz from Lte800 4G mobile phone transmitters which can interfere with digital TV channels.
Features include:
• 13.9dBi Gain
• F type connector for secure and easy connection
• Fast simple assembly
• Encapsulated weather resistant electronic balun
Installation Instructions
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened CAI benchmarked digital coax cable and s
creened coax outlets. You will need to fit the coax cable with the F type connector supplied to connect
to the downlead (not supplied) to the F socket on the aerial.
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: Now, simply twist on the 'F' connector supplied and trim the
central conductor.
For best results the aerial should be mounted on an outdoor aerial mast and pointed in the
direction of the nearest transmitter* making sure it is in a position where the transmitter
signal will not be obstructed by nearby trees and buildings. If you are in any doubt about
the direction in which the aerial should be pointing or the orientation of the aerial
(horizontal for main transmitter, vertical for relay transmitter) check your neighbours' aerials.
The aerial requires some assembly. If mounting on an existing mast check that the mast is in
good condition and firmly fixed.
Aerial assembly
3. Clip the balun/dipole assembly to the main boom
using the sprung studs to hold it in position as
shown in Fig. 3.
4. Using the reflector clamps, bolt and wing nut, fix
the reflector assemblies to the main aerial boom
as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
5. Check that the reflector clamp tabs locate in the
holes of the reflector boom sections and that the
wing nut is tight - see Fig. 5.
6. Ensure that the reflector elements are facing the
right way with the rivets facing the back of the aerial.
