CUSHCRAFT MA160V Assembly And Installation Instructions Manual

3, Assembly Instructions- MA160V Step 1: Using the items listed below, install aluminum tubes on base insulator. 1 MA8040VBAB 12” x 1-3/8” OD aluminum base section (NS/2SH) 1 MA8040VBAT 36” x 1-3/8” OD aluminum antenna section (2SH/4S) 1 126241 16” x 1-1/4” O…

5, Step-5: Complete assembly of the top resonator section. 1 ---------- Radial ring assembly (set aside from Step-3) 1 MA160VBI 1/2” OD x 35-7/8” resonator stub section (NS/2S) 1 MA160VBJ 3/8” OD x 35-7/8” resonator stub section (NS/2S) 1 MA160VBK 1/4” OD x 41” re…

7, Step-9: Construct a base support. When selecting a site, allow sufficient area to spread out radials and install guys. Confirm that, if toppled by accident, the antenna can fall in any direction without striking power wires. Also, ensure the top of the resonator will clear overhead bra…

4, Step-3: Assemble the capacitive-hat support ring. 2 194174 8-hole radial ring 2 196242 Upper radial-ring support bracket (do not confuse with set of 3 guy brackets) 8 010009 5/8” x 8-32 screw 2 360941 #10 aluminum spacer washer 8 011941 #8 lock washer 8 010011 8…

10, CUSHCRAFT MA160V 2. Enhanced System: You may also install the MA160V over a more robust radial system (FIG-14B). Benefits include a somewhat lower take-off angle plus higher radiating efficiency because of reduced ground losses. In order to implement a larger system, you’ll need more open space plus…
