Page 18: Using The Antenna Mount Assembly On A 4-Tr
Each Model 3181/3183/3184 End Fed Mini-Bicon Antenna ships with an antenna mount assembly for a variety of mounting configurations. To use the antenna mount assembly with an ETS-Lindgren 4-TR Tripod, select the antenna mounting orientation, attach the antenna mount assembly to the 4-TR, and then attach the antenna to the antenna mount assembly. -
Page 19: Step 1: Attach Antenna Mount Assembly To 4-Tr
1: A 4-TR TTACH NTENNA OUNT SSEMBLY TO You may use the antenna mount assembly to mount the Model 3181/3183/3184 in vertical or horizontal orientation. • Vertical orientation: Attach the extension to the threaded insert on the bottom of the mount and rotate to tighten into place. - Page 20 To direct mount, attach the mount to the 4-TR using the threaded insert on the side of the mount. Rotate to tighten into place. To use the extension, attach the extension to the mount using the threaded insert on the side of the mount, and then turn the extension to tighten. Attach the extension to the 4-TR using the threaded insert on the bottom of the extension.
