Hi-Z Antennas™ Models AL-18, AL-23 Vertical Assembly Instructions – pg 2/3

THANK YOU for purchasing the Hi-Z HD 18/ 24 vertical.

Locate angle aluminum mount. Attach 6X32 SS screw with one 8x32 SS K-lock in pre-drilled hole. This is the top of the mount.

Locate the two each 8" wires and Red Terminals (4ea). Strip all four ends and crimp on the 4 Red terminals. Option: solder each terminal.

For AL-18 – locate the 3 tubes; .875, .750 and .625 diameter, use the 2 smaller SS clamps to clamps the 3 tubes at the 2 overlap points.

FOR AL-23 ONLY - locate the 4 tubes; .875, .750 ,.625 and .500 diameter, use the 3 smaller SS clamps to clamps the 4 tubes at the 3

overlap points. At each overlap insert 3 inches of tubing and clamp. Use a little NO-OX grease on the tubing at each overlapping joint.

For both the AL-18 & 23; on the .875 bottom section (hole drilled for SS screw), place 1.5 wraps of electrical tap at 1 and 5 inches

from the drilled end. See Fig.1

See page 3 for mounting detail.

Install vertical terminal, a 6x32x ½"SS screw with the head located in the inside of the base tube. Install one 6x32 K-lock nut and tighten.

10.

Bring the base tube together with the angle mount and overlap 6". Slide the large SS clamps over this overlap. Fig. 3

11.

Position the upper SS clamp near the top of the overlap and the bottom one about 1" up from the bottom of the base tube. Fig. 4

12.

Tighten the SS clamps.

13.

Attach one end of the 8" wire to the screw terminal (step 3) with 6x32 k-lock.

14.

Attach one end of the other 8" wire (step 3) to vertical base tube terminal (step 9) with 6x32 k-lock.

15.

Position the 3" white pipe with cap positioned on top as shown in Fig.. 3 and attach 2 cable ties as shown.

16.

Attach one wire to Hi-Z amp –Antenna terminal. Attach other wire to Hi-Z amp – ground terminal.

17.

Hi-Z amp ANTENNA terminal to 6x32 screw at base of vertical. The Hi-Z GROUND terminal attaches to 6x32 screw on the angle base mount post.

18.

Maintain as much separation as possible with these wires connecting the Hi-Z amp. Minimum 1" or more is very doable.

19.

Attach the RG-6 coax as shown in FIG 4 with a 180 degree radius bend, not too tight a bend and push up into white pipe, all the way, FIG 3.

20.

Place assembled vertical into ground location as foot print layout. Dress out RG-6 coax as required.

21.

Place mounting angle per the foot print required for your array, at least 2 feet to no more than 2' 3" in the earth.

22.

There is an extra SS clamp. Place this clamp on the base of the vertical just on top of the PVC insulator.

23.

CONGRADUATIONS. You are SO close to receiving signals that you previously could not hear.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE ANTENNA

For best performance, mount the antenna in a clear location away from

buildings, towers, feedlines, utility wires, and other antennas.

Never mount this antenna in a location that will permit unsuspecting

people to come in contact with any part of the antenna.

Never mount this antenna where a mechanical failure might allow the

antenna to contact power lines or other utility wires.

Always ground the feedline to a good earth ground at the point where It

enters a building for lightning protection.
