User manual GAP TITAN DX ANTENNA

[. . . ] POWER LINES CAN KILL YOU DO NOT ERECT THIS ANTENNA NEAR ANY OVERHEAD WIRES, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY 1) Do not erect this antenna near any overhead wires. 2) Do not transport this antenna from an assembly location to the installation site if you must travel near or under overhead wires. 3) Request advice from your local power company if power wires are anywhere near the proposed location. [. . . ] If necessary slide some of the hoop wire through the split to either create more length or take up slack. Tie a temporary knot in the Dacron cord to the ring terminal on the wire extension. PG7 A)Locate the two short standoffs on the Main Section. Slide the 51" Top tuner rod thru these standoffs so the screw holes are towards the GAP. Loosen and adjust the standoffs so the tuner rod is parallel to the mast, now tighten the clamps. Position this hole between the two standoffs and insert a screw and tighten. Place the black jumper under the screw with the GAP lead, reinsert and tighten. D) Attach the other end of the jumper to the hole at the end of the Top tuner rod with a screw and tighten. Form these four into a cross, perpendicular and immediately below the GAP. Rotate the lower cross assembly until it's longest standoff is in line with the one on the upper unit. G) Take the four 102" Mid tuner rods and insert a screw in the hole 10" from the end of each rod and tighten. H) Slide a 102" rod thru each standoff in the top cross, starting with the end opposite the screw just inserted and then into the bottom standoffs. If they are taut you can raise or lower the position of the clamp on the short standoff pair to remove any tension. Proper positioning can be achieved by making sure the bottom of these two Mid tuner rods are in the same plane as the tops of your Lower tuner rods. CHAPTER 5: COUNTERPOISE AND HOOP ASSEMBLY 5. 0 GENERAL The Counterpoise and hoop assembly includes a Counterpoise support bracket, 4-80" rods, Counterpoise Hoop - a 35' length of copper wire with a ring terminal, a 4' length of Dacron with a ring terminal, 3 counterpoise End Caps and a 4' 9" fixed wire extension with 2 ring terminals. Locate the 3/4" x 9" long PVC section with the 2 rivets inserted. B) Push a 11/4" screw thru one of the vacant holes in the aluminum bracket. C) Push a second screw thru the remaining vacant hole in the aluminum bracket and then through the remaining vacant drill hole in the PVC tube. D) Attach lock nuts to each screw and tighten both securely PG 9 PG 6 H) Locate the Mid Section. Slide the end with the 4 standoffs over the coax tail protruding from the Main Section center insulator. I) Align the holes on the insulator with the holes in the Mid Section. Place a screw and washer through the remaining ring terminal on the short yellow GAP lead coming out from the center insulator. Insert this screw in the hole closest to where the lead comes out of the center insulator. [. . . ] You may experience reduced bandwidth on a band if you tower mount the TITAN. This is generally a result of the tower exhibiting a resonance for that frequency. 2. 3 TRIPOD/CHIMNEY MOUNT The TITAN may be mounted in a tripod or to a chimney mount. Use the mount plate assembly to insulate the TITAN from the tripod or chimney mount. [. . . ]
