INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Notes:
1. Installation of this product may expose the installer to physical hazards
such as working at heights above the ground, slippery roofs, overhead or
adjacent electrical wires etc. Plan the installation in advance, taking all
possible precautions and, if in doubt, contact a professional antenna
installer.
2. For best results, mount the antenna outdoors, clear of any obstructions and
in line of sight to the transmitter.
3. Tools required: 10mm spanner, 11mm spanner and a sharp knife.
4. Mounting pole diameter: 25mm – 63mm (1" – 2½")

polarisation, that the balun is on the
underside of the boom.

bracket with a 10mm spanner. Tie the cable to the mounting pole, being
careful to avoid sharp bends – refer to the manufacturer's data for the
minimum bending radius of the cable.
5) Screw the connector onto the
balun, being careful not to over-
tighten (recommended torque is
20 in-lbs). Slide the cable boot
over the connector.
