- Page 2 DXE-VFCC-H05-A Vertical Feedline Current Choke (VFCC) to keep current off the feedline. The VFCC kit comes in two power levels. The DXE-VFCC-H05-A rated at 2 kW continuous and the DXE- VFCC-H10-A, rated at 5 kW continuous. Both kits include an insulated mounting plate used to mount the choke to the base of the vertical and the necessary braid used to connect the choke to the vertical feed point and ground system.
- Page 3 After mounting the VFCC as shown in Figures 2 and 3, connect the 8.5" braid to the bottom of the vertical antenna. Make sure you are using the in DX ENGINEERING on the VFCC terminal closest to the Red "D"...
- Page 4 Hand Tightening the Wing Nuts The DX Engineering VFCC is not affected by moisture and may be left outside in all types of weather, including heavy rain, as long as the VFCC is positioned so that water will drain from the case. However, they may not be immersed in water and care should be taken to avoid blocking the drainage of condensation or any water that could get inside.
- Page 5 RFI and unwanted signal ingress. In order to reduce the unwanted current on the feedline shield in these situations, the DX Engineering VFCC will make the best of a non-optimal installation. With no ground system, attach the terminal of the VFCC that would normally go to the Radial Plate to the frame of the antenna support bracket or mounting pipe where the radial wires would normally be attached as indicated in the manual.
- Page 6 Red "D" The terminal nearest the Black "X" in DX ENGINEERING on the label connects to the ground radial system. Your existing coaxial cable from your radio connects directly to the SO-239 on the VFCC. There is a spare wing nut with hardware next to the SO-239.
- Page 7 - It's the RTV! Normal RTV gives off acetic acid when it cures. That's the vinegar smell. The acetic acid causes the corrosion. DX Engineering has located a Neutral Cure RTV made right here in Ohio that is non-corrosive and is safe for sealing those baluns and other electronic gear that are going to be out in the weather.
