Warning: The PDL HPB enclosure and heat sink may
become very hot during operation. This is normal
depending on the ambient temperature, RF power
selection and transmission duty cycle. Turn off the unit
and allow it to cool prior to handling.
PDL High Power Base System Setup
Antenna and Antenna Mount
Begin your PDL HPB station set up by screwing the Antenna
Mount to the top of the Tripod Antenna Mast. You may want to
leave the mount permanently attached to the mast and avoid this
step in the future.
Next, screw the Antenna on the Antenna Mount. We
recommend inspecting the antenna center push-pin contact to
ensure that it makes good contact with the antenna mount. A
good antenna connection is critical to system performance.
Tripod Antenna Mast
With the Antenna Mount and Antenna connected, extend the
legs of the Tripod Antenna Mast and set up the tripod on level
ground. Spread the tripod legs sufficiently to provide a stable
base.
