5. Hardware
Feed line hardware supplied is stainless steel. Mounting hardware may be either
stainless steel or galvanized steel. Sufficient quantities are included.
Cautions
♦ Never climb on the antenna directors or antenna supports.
♦ Do not use any gas stop on the antenna. The antenna is internally pressure sealed and
should be kept under pressure at all times after installation.
♦ Before and during installation, the antenna and feed lines should always be sealed
against rain or moisture condensation.
♦ Do not alter the length of any feed line from the power divider to the antenna
section(s).
♦ Connect feed lines only to their assigned (match marked) antenna sections.
♦ Never bend the 7/8" feed lines tighter than a ten (10) inch radius.
♦ Never bend the 1 5/8" feed lines tighter than a twenty (20) inch radius.
♦ Spacing between antenna sections should be set as specified.
♦ Antenna sections are not the same, do not interchange the sections from their
designated order.
A. TLP-8 Assembly and Orientation
1. Assemble mounts. (Reference Universal Mount drawing in the information folder)
2. Locate and install antenna to supporting structure per Installation Drawing.
Note: If an azimuth pattern optimization and custom mounts were purchased then
see the Installation Drawing for orientation with tower.
3. Remove the gas cap from the input section and connect the transmission line.
B. TLP-16, -24 & -32 Assembly and Orientation
1. Assemble mounts. (Reference Universal Mount drawing in the information folder)
For reference locate and mark the center of radiation on the tower.
2. Raise the top antenna section (i.e., highest number) and locate from the center of
radiation (Reference Installation Drawing).
3. Fasten mounts to tower and orient antenna per Installation Drawing.
Note: If an azimuth pattern optimization and custom mounts were purchased then
see the Installation Drawing for orientation with tower.
