3.0 General

The assembly of the GAP TITAN requires no special tools and a nut driver has been supplied

for your convenience. Plastic stand-offs that support the tuner rods are attached to the

aluminum mast at their approximate proper positions to simplify assembly. Do not remove these

at this time. Before starting assembly, check the various parts in the shipping container against

the pictorial parts list in figure 2 to establish all parts are present. Next review Figure 1 which depicts

an assembled TITAN. As you proceed to assemble your TITAN, use this diagram.

NOTE: That in the assembly instructions, when a single hole is identified on a tuner rod it is

thru drilled. Thru drilled holes provide you with a backup should you accidentally strip a hole

by over tightening.

We found that telling you to insert a screw and washer gets repetitive, therefore whenever a

screw is called for include a washer as well. When attaching jumpers and transitions, the

washer should be placed between the ring terminal and the tube. Not between the screw head

and ring terminal.

When we refer to the "GAP" we are referencing the center insulator with the yellow band.

3.1 Space Required

To get started with the assembly, you will need a flat space approximately 30' in length.

A driveway or patio surface is ideal. The key to an easy assembly is room to move, a surface

which allows you to find the screws you drop and careful attention to the directions. Extra

crews have been provided because we know how lawns like to eat screws.

3.2 Mast Assembly

Standoffs are positioned on the various mast sections at their approximate final positions.

Do not loosen the clamps.

A) Locate the Main Section. Place the Main Section on a flat surface. Stretch out the coax that

protrudes from each end. NOTE The coax that goes to the top of the antenna has a yellow ring

terminal.

B) Locate the Top Section. Place the end without the notch over the coax cable with the yellow

terminal.

C) Slide the Top Section into the Main Section. Gently push the Top Section into the Main

Section beyond the matching holes, until the yellow terminal and spade connectors are exposed.

D) Plug the CAP unit onto the spade connectors found on the coaxial cable. Make sure the

male spades on the CAP unit align with the female spade terminals on the coax.

E) Pull the Top Section back out and align it's four screw holes with the four holes in the Main

Mast Section. Insert 4 screws. Snug all screws first before tightening one particular screw.

NOTE This procedure should be repeated wherever multiple screws are inserted. Snug

first then tighten

F) Place the yellow ring terminal at the top of the antenna through the slot and over the nearby

drill hole. Insert a screw and tighten securely. WARNING: Make sure the CAP unit is pushed

down below the screw, so it does not crack the CAP unit when you insert it.

G) Locate the black dust cover and place it over the Top Section.

E) Locate the wire extension with the two ring terminals

F) Take the ring terminal from the Counterpoise Hoop wire and one terminal from

the wire extension. Place both terminals over the drill hole at the end of the 80"

counterpoise rod that has the yellow end cap and is attached to the aluminum tube

on the Counterpoise bracket. see figure 6. Insert a screw attaching these terminals

to the Counterpoise rod.

G) Circle the ends of the Counterpoise rods with the Counterpoise Hoop placing an

End Cap on each Counterpoise rod as you circle.

H) Find the Dacron cord with the ring terminal. Feed the end of the Counterpoise

wire thru the split bolt, the ring terminal on the Dacron cord and back through the

split bolt. The distance between the split bolt and the ring terminal on the Dacron

should be about 2" or running the wire through the split bolt, the ring terminal on the

Dacron and back through the split bolt creates, roughly a 2" loop.

I) Thread the Dacron cord thru the vacant ring terminal of the wire extension. Pull

the cord until the Counterpoise Hoop has no slack in it but, do not over tension the

hoop. For starters your Dacron should be about 12". 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.
