Antennas are precision measurement devices. Handle your antenna with care. Do not cross thread any connections or permanent damage to the antenna could occur. The 1/4–20 mount on the bottom of the Model 3303 is not a ground location. Assembly, Mounting, and Operation...
Assembly TTACH OUNTERPOISE Do not lift the Model 3303 by the counterpoise. The counterpoise attaches on the top of the Model 3303 Rod Antenna base with the rod element passing through the opening in the counterpoise. Mounting the counterpoise between the housing and the rod antenna prevents the body of the antenna from intruding into the field being measured.
SSEMBLE TTACH LEMENT Assemble the rod element: • For a finished length of 40.95 in (1040 mm)—Assemble (2) 116474 rod sections and (1) 116862 center section. • For a finished length of 39.37 in (1000 mm)—Assemble (2) 116474 rod sections. Do not use the 116862 center section. Attach the rod to the element connector, passing it through the hole in the...
