5.2 COUNTERPOISE ASSEMBLY see figure 6

A) Attach the stainless clamp to the assembled Counterpoise bracket. Place the bracket

against the Lower Section in between the two sets of screws at the base.

B) Tighten the clamp securely

C) It is recommended that the Counterpoise Hoop assembly, be deferred until the TITAN

has been installed in it's final position. RAISING the antenna with the hoop installed is

cumbersome and can damage the antenna. The following section is easier to complete

after the antenna has been mounted. Check section 6.0 before continuing.

5.3 COUNTERPOISE HOOP

A) Locate the 80" counterpoise rods. There are drill holes on both ends. Slide each rod

into the Counterpoise bracket see figure 5 & 6. Make sure the rod with the yellow end cap

slides into one side of the aluminum tube, not the PVC.

B) Align the hole in the 80" rods with the hole in the counterpoise tubes. Insert a screw in

both holes and tighten. This step is optional if you plan on frequently raising and lowering

your antenna.

C) Locate the 3 Counterpoise End Caps and the 35 foot copper Counterpoise Hoop with

1 ring terminal. The End Caps have a rivet in them.

D) Each End Cap also has a thru drilled hole close to one end. Thread the end of the

copper wire without the ring terminal thru these holes in the End Caps.

H) Locate the Mid Section. It has 4 standoffs attached to one end. 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. See figure 3. Insert the remaining 3 screws and tighten.

Leave the standoffs as is, for the moment.

J) Locate the Lower Section. It is a double wall and triple walled section for added

strength. It has four long standoffs at one end.

K) Slide the end with the standoffs over the coax tail and partially over the Mid Section.

Align the 4 holes, insert 4 screws and tighten securely, remember to snug them all first.

Do not attach the PL259 connector.

CHAPTER 4: TUNER ROD ASSEMBLY

4.0 GENERAL

There are four 102" Mid tuner rods, two Lower tuner rods 30" and 60" and one 51"

Top tuner rod. Two extensions complete the tuner rod package. The standoffs have

been prepositioned at the factory for your convenience. When orienting these

standoffs you should not have to move them along the mast, but simply loosen the

clamp and lever them out, so they are perpendicular to the mast. If you should slightly

shift their relative position along the mast don't despair. Slight movement is not critical.
