5.0 Mounting Instructions
Before connecting any components, follow the
safety information in the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information Bulletin included with your
shipment.
The Model 3143B antenna is a precision
measurement device. Handle with care.
Contact with any metal or non-metallic structure can capacitively load the
antenna, which may cause unrepeatable results. Therefore, make sure that no
part of the dipole elements or bowties is in contact with the tripod or tower,
particularly in vertically-polarized tests. Where possible, run the feed cable
straight one meter or more back from the Model 3143B BiConiLog™ Antenna
before dropping vertically.
