ROPERLY WRAPPING THE ANTENNAE

The antenna wrap around the water pipe on each end of the ClearWave™ (see Figure 1).  A 
minimum of seven fully wrapped coils of the antenna wire, with each coil wrapped tightly against 
the pipe and pressed snugly against each other is required for best results (see Figure 1A). 
Each wire coil should be spaced 1 inch to 2 inches apart. The operation of the ClearWave™ 
and the antenna installation is not based on direction of water flow, but one antenna MUST be 
wrapped in a clockwise direction and the other wrapped in an counter-clockwise direction. 

1.  On the right side of the unit wrap the first antenna onto the water pipe by securing the “CW” 

clockwise antenna to the water pipe next to the ClearWave™ housing with a wire tie.  Wrap 
the right antenna clockwise (over the top of the pipe first), keeping the antenna wire tight 
against the pipe and the preceding coil.  Secure the end of the antenna wire to the water 
pipe with a wire tie (see Figure 1A).  Repeat wrapping the remainder of the antennas onto 
the pipe alternating the wrap direction (see Figure 1). 

2.  On left side of the unit wrap the first antenna onto the water pipe by securing the “CCW anti 

clockwise antenna to the water pipe next to the ClearWave™ housing with a wire tie.  Wrap 
the antenna counter-clockwise (Under the bottom of the pipe first), keeping the antenna wire 
tight against the pipe and the preceding coil.  Secure the end of the antenna wire to the 
water pipe with a wire tie. Repeat wrapping the remainder of the antennas onto the pipe 
alternating the wrap direction (see Figure 1). 

3.  When energized, the ClearWave™ by plugging in the power supply, the modulation 

indicator lights start flashing sequentially indicating that the ClearWave™ is functioning 
properly.  If the indicator lights do not flash sequentially, unplug the power supply, wait one 
minute then plug in the power supply again.  If at any time a functional problem is 
suspected, unplug the power supply, wait one minute then plug in the power supply again. 

NOTE:  The performance of the ClearWave™ is not affected by the direction or orientation of the unit.  
The unit may be mounted to horizontal, vertical, or diagonally.  The ClearWave™ can be used effectively 
on any type of water pipe; galvanized, copper, or plastic. 

NOTE:  The ClearWave™ is designed and tested to cause little or no interference to other 
communication devices, such as televisions, and most cordless telephones.  Install the ClearWave™ at 
least ten feet from any radio, television, or cordless telephone base unit to eliminate possible interference.
