Warnings:

The purchaser is responsible for determining if the support structure, pole, tower or mast
will safely handle the antenna system.
For reliable, moisture free operation, maintain 5 psig of dry air or dry nitrogen to the
antenna system at all times. Failure to keep the transmission line and antenna pressurized
with dry air or nitrogen may allow moisture into the system can cause arcing and physical
destruction of the coaxial system. The damage degrades the performance and eventually
failure of the antenna. Failure or reduced performance of the antenna due to moisture in
the system is not manufacture warranted.
This antenna system, when energized by a RF transmitter, will present a high intensity
R.F. field. Care must be adhered not to touch the antenna system when energized.
Personnel should not be in the aperture of the antenna while the antenna system is
energized. All maintenance or repairs should be done with the primary voltage to the
transmitter disconnected and all transmitter remote controls disabled.

Return Policy

When returning any material to the factory, be sure to call your sales representative or
customer service support and obtain a material return authorization (MRA) number first.
Use this number in all correspondence. Material may be refused and sent back at
customer expense without a MRA.

Factory Tests

The antenna has been completely assembled and tested at the factory. Each antenna
system has been tuned to the required frequency.
Each antenna section is internally matched and requires no tuning after installation. The
total input VSWR of the antenna is measured on a tuning rack and is tuned to be 1.1:1 or
better within the specified TV channel.
Each section is pressure tested to 15 psig at assembly.
Antenna Description
Dielectrics TLP Antenna is comprised of one or more eight-layer antenna
section(s). Each section has vertical rows of horizontally or circularly polarized slots
and directors mounted along the cylinder. The antenna sections are made of aluminum
outers and copper inners along with stainless steel hardware and slot covers. These
antennas are designed to be corrosion resistant and maintenance free. Adjustments
and/or tuning are not necessary.
