Mead Bond Size: 8.500" x 11.000" Ink: Black Scale: 1-1) EXA-1000 Remote Antenna with Vertical Radials Installation Instructions (760) 438-7000 • FAX (760) 438-7043 USA & Canada (800) 421-1587 & (800) 392-0123 Toll Free FAX (800) 468-1340 STEP 2 Assemble Base. From the top (angled side of the Base Plate (Item #2), insert the long end of the F-81 Thru-barrel Connector (Item #11) into the center hole of the plate. Secure the connector with the flat washer (Item # 10) and the 1/ 2 inch hex nut ( Item #9). F- 81 BARREL CONNECTOR (ITEM #11) BASE PLATE SHORT END (ITEM #2) 1/2 INCH FLAT WASHER (ITEM #10) LONG END 1/2 INCH HEX NUT (ITEM #9) STEP 6 Post Mounting. Use the post mounting technique for a round post up to two inches in diameter. For a larger post, follow the wall mounting instructions to attach the Base Plate to the post. Attach the Base Plate assembly to the designated post or 2" MAXIMUM pipe using the 2- inch DIAMETER U-bolt (Item #5) with the two lock washers ( Item #6) and 7/ 16 hex nuts (Item #7). U-BOLT The EXA-1000 Remote Antenna is designed to enhance the radio range of Linear’s receivers. This antenna can be connected to the “F” connector on many Linear receivers to improve their range when they must be located in poor signal reception locations. Usually an increase of 20-30% range can be expected. The versatile EXA- 1000 can be mounted in a variety of ways. A 2-inch U- bolt is supplied for post or pipe mounting, or the U- bolt holes in the Base Plate can be used to screw the antenna to a wall or vertical wood brace or beam. . NOTE: Generally, the higher the antenna is mounted above ground level, the betterthe radio range will be. The EXA-1000 provides maximum performance when mounted and installed properly according to these instructions. Please read the entire instructions before beginning any work. The EXA-1000 is a 1/ 2 wave, center fed, vertical antenna composed of three parts: an Antenna assembly with an “ F” connector attachment; a Base Plate assembly with radial mounting provisions; and a five-foot, 75- ohm coaxial cable. The cable connects to the antenna base on one end and the receivers “F” connector on the other. If the antenna must be mounted further than five feet from the receiver, an extension cable of up to a maximum of 25 feet may be used instead of the five foot cable supplied. Because of the cable resistance, the performance of the EXA-1000 may be degraded by using longer than a 25 foot cable. STEP 3 Assemble Radials. Screw each of the 2-56 hex nuts (Item #4) about half way down the threaded end of the four radial rods (Item # 3). RADIAL RODS (4) (ITEM #3) 2-56 HEX NUTS (4) (ITEM #4) STEP 7 Wall Mounting. Mount the EXA-1000 on the wall high enough to achieve optimum range, leaving sufficient clearance to permit the vertical antenna to stand in free air. Attach the Base Plate to the wall using #10 wood screws (not included) #10 WOOD SCREWS through the U- bolt holes. . Caution: Do not mount on metal plate or metal backed walls.

Screw each of the four radial rods (Item #3) into the bottom side of the Base Plate (Item #2) until the rod end slightly protrudes above the top side of the Base Plate. Tighten the nuts to secure each radial. . NOTE: Over- tightening the nuts may damage the threads in the Base Plate. RADIAL RODS ( 4) BASE PLATE (ITEM # 2) (ITEM #3) STEP 8 Attic Mounting. Attach the Base Plate assembly to a joist, beam or some other object in the attic using # 10 wood screws through the U- bolt holes. A good place to mount the antenna in an attic is on a plastic vent pipe (see “ Post Mounting” for instructions). Try to keep the antenna as far away from large metal objects (duct work, furnace vents, etc) as possible. . Caution: In attics, or under room structures, metal foil backed insulation and drywall metallic vapor barriers will degrade radio range and performance.
