A.H. Systems SAS-547 Biconical Antenna

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 

The SAS-547 Biconical Antenna is shipped completely assembled.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 

The SAS-547 biconical antenna is supplied with an ABC-TD Balun mounting 
clamp. The ABC-TD has a 1/4-20 mounting holes on the base of the clamp. 

Attach the antenna to the ABC-TD mounting clamp, azimuth and elevation head
(AEH-510) through the screw hole in the antenna base. The azimuth and 
elevation head (AEH-510) mounts to the tripod (ATU-510) top and allows the 
antennas to be rotated 360 degrees and tilted between horizontal and vertical 
polarization. Each tripod leg is independently adjustable in angle and length to 
facilitate antenna height setting. The tripod legs have a rubber tip on one end 
for indoor or hard surface use, and a metal spike on the other end for outdoor 
soft surface (such as dirt) use.
