<<Installing the antenna>>
① Don't install on a rainy or windy
day since it is dangerous.
② If the KV2 is located on the roof of
a house or top of a building, look
around the roof to see if there are
any obstacles such as an electronic
wire or TV antenna. The KV2 has
to be located as far away as
possible from those things to
obtain its maximum performance.
Installing the antenna too close to
the building wall may cause bad
effect for electrical characteristics
of the antenna.
③ Don't install the antenna where is
easily reachable by people.
④ Install the antenna firmly not to fall
down due to the strong wind.
Even if falling down the antenna,
locate the antenna at the safe
place where people and building
are not inflicted injures.
<<Before transmitting>>
①Transmit after confirming if the
antenna works normally by an
SWR meter. If VSWR is less than
1.5, it is no problem. If VSWR is
higher, stop transmitting and check
if the parts of the antenna and
coaxial cable are connected. If
there are tall buildings or obstacles
or the distance between the antenna
and the ground is short, VSWR
may not be lowered.
※Diamond Antenna SWR/POWER
meter is an insertion type being
connected between a transmitter
and an antenna. Transmitting
power and SWR can be measured
with very simple operations. In
addition with those conventional
measurements, PEP (peak envelope
power) on SSB mode can be
measured with a PEP monitor
function.

<<During transmitting>>
①Touching

antenna
transmission may cause to electrify.
Pay attention not to touch the
antenna especially for children if
installing on a balcony railing.
<<Rumbling Thunder>>
①The thunder seems to rumble in
the
vicinity,
don't
touch
antenna and coaxial.
When you don't use the radio, take
off the cable from the radio.
<<If there is something wrong,
stop transmitting immediately>>
①Keeping transmitting with high
VSWR may cause the radio to be
damaged.
Stop transmitting immediately and
check the following matters. If it
doesn't solve the problem, please
ask
the
Antenna Corporation.
[Condition: If the antenna doesn't seem
to receive well or propagate well]
Check 1:Is the antenna too close to
the building wall? If the
obstacles are too close to
antenna, VSWR is higher
and the radiation pattern is
disturbed. Please install the
antenna from the building
as far away as possible.
Check 2:Did
antenna correctly? Please
read the instruction again
and reconfirm the assembly.
Check 3:Is the coaxial cable something
wrong? Please check if
soldering the connector is
okay and the wire breaks by
the volt-ohm meter.
・Note for selecting adequate
antenna installation location
and pre-install preparations.
①Since the KV2 requires good earth
ground to work efficiently, install
the antenna on place where good
earth ground can be obtained.
②A mast to install the antenna has
to be driven in firmly into the
ground or castled into concrete
basis to fix the antenna.
③An earth ground has to be located
as close as possible to the antenna.
Locating the earth ground remote
from the antenna may worsen
electric characteristics of the antenna.
・Assembly Instruction
①Assemble
element first. Prepare Pipe No. 1,
those
Pipe No. 2, S trap, loading coil for
7MHz, Pipe No. 3, and Pipe No. 4.

②Attach Hat, Hat S, and Hat SS on
Hat ring. Attach two Hats and two
Hat S on top (3.5MHz) oppositely.
Attach four Hat SS on lower parts.
First, screw them by hand. After
that, fix them by spanner firmly.
※Hat rings are set at center
frequency at each band in the factory.
③Remove hose clamp from Pipe

and fix them as the figure. Make
Pipe No. 5 vertical. (Set up mast at
appropriately 50cm from the ground.

④Attach the feeding cable on the
lower part of Pipe No. 5 with
tapping screw.
⑤Insert the element pipe that is
already assembled into about
10cm from above of Pipe No. 5.
Fix it with hose clamp.
⑥Connect earth cable from the
feeding cable to ground earth at
shortest distance. Cut the earth
cable if it is too long.
⑦At last, connect coaxial cable to
MJ connector and waterproof with
self melting plastic sealing tape.
・Adjustment
<<Note for frequency
adjustment>>
Practice the following adjustment
procedure at the place where the
antenna is actually installed.
Test transmission for the adjustment
has to be performed for as short time
as possible and with as low RF
power as possible. Maximum RF
power rating of continuous wave
(CW) is about 1/3 of it in SSB mode.
①Prepare suitable VSWR meter for
operating frequencies and output
RF power. Then connect it as
shown in below.
