HEXBEAM MARK IV HD
HEX-BEAM SP7IDX TECHNOLOGY ANTENNA is a broad band hex antenna
operating in PLUG AND PLAY system, its assembly time is 1-1,5h for one person. Its
installation doesn't require any additional tuning. Thanks to its small and compact
structure its turning requires only a small light rotor. The antenna works properly
even when it's installed relatively low over the ground.
Both antennas are equipped with all parts, required for a one, five or
six bands beam in range from 6 to 20 meters. The HEXBEAM SP7IDX
TECHNOLOGY offers mounted on the ground gain for front – to – back huge
amplify. The antenna offers the same values as a full size YAGA antenna. Has
unique shape: is much smaller, stiffly and makes less noise than typical
beams, it is lighter, easier to montage.
Please see its possible assembly methods on:
http://sp7idx-hexbeam.eu/hexbeam/mounting-suggestion
The antennas are tested at 7,3m height with analyser RigExpert AA-
1000 + Keysight E5061B ENA Vector Network Analyzer
24,8 m AIRCELL 7 + RG400/U HEW-Kabel GmbH Germany Filial Nordic-
Örebro-Cable
Test connections conducted with transceiver SDR - Flex Radio
System 6600M + EXPERT ELEKTRONICS SunSDR2 DX
PA Team SPE EXPERT 1,3K + 2K
It is helpful if you completely read through the instructions a couple of time before
.
you start
The antenna is assembled intuitively, but please
Please pay special attention to the red inscriptions.

  • Page 26 Step 2. Place the centre post inside the centre plate so that the UC1 socket was facing the log. As an additional protection against the self-turning of the whole structure the upper flange is equipped with an additional passer-by screw - tight it up carefully! Block the centre plate by turning two set screws located in both flanges - upper and bottom one.
  • Page 27 Step 3. Place the poles in pipes in the centre plate following their numbers on fibreglass spreaders and pipes in the centre plate. Pay attention to places with cut-outs which are inserted into locks in pipes from the centre plate. The poles are marked with numbers and those with the same ones should be stored together.

  • Page 32 Step 4. The assembly and tightening of lines. We start with Kevlar line with S-hook should be fixed in the center post in closed loop. After 6 lines have been fixed in the center post, fasten lines around the perimeter - one to the other - in clockwise direction.

  • Page 34 Step 5.
  • Page 35 The fixing of bands should begin with the lowest band, i.e. 6M - which is the closest to the centre post. Then 10M, 12M, 15M, 17M and 20M. numbers on centerpost and band 1-20m 2-17m 3-15m 4-12m 5-10m 6-6m The leads have the same band symbols as the centre post. Fix the closed loop on one side of the lead on screw in centre post, then keep putting it through holders on poles until you reach the second screw in the centre post.
  • Page 36 Pay attention to the type of applied washer! Pay much attention during this stage - electric lines cannot be overtightened. You need to feel that they're a bit loose when you touch them, they need to hang down to avoid their breakage during strong wind or snow. To correct the lead tension - loosen or tighten one of the lead holders, two or three pieces - this doesn't affect proper operation of a given band.

  • Page 43 DO NOT MAKE THE WIRES TOO TIGHT. Also too l ose and the wire will drop down and touch the wire below. This is als o not good and will cause the SWR of those two to not be right. You want to kee p the spacing between wires.

  • Page 53 DO NOT transmit, even with the aid of a tuner, outside the designed bands. This can cause excessive voltage and arching of the terminals on the center post and replacement is not covered by any warranty. That's it, the assembly is over.
