14 | Assembly and Installation
• Elements connect to a load box and a balun box through radiating
element wire bundles. Each radiating element wire bundle assembly
consists of two pieces of conductive braid over rope and a spring
retraction system housed in an aluminum tube assembly.
A metal ground plane with minimum dimensions of 8 m x 3 m x 1/16 in
(not included) must be centered under the Model 5503.
Support Structure
A minimum of four people are required to safely
assemble and operate the Model 5503.
See Assembly Drawings on page 37 for additional assembly and
installation illustrations.
The support structure is shipped partially assembled. To complete assembly, set
the vertical supports upright and secure with framing elements (struts).
1. Unfold the support structure
so that the masts and
element supports are
straight and at 90 degrees to
the base.
