Model No: 248CP22A

SPECIFICATIONS:

*Subtract 2.14 from dBi for dBd

FEATURES:

The 248CP22A is high performance circular polarized antenna with a remarkably clean pattern. The pattern is

important in order to match the antenna’s noise temperature with modern low noise preamps. This antenna is ideal for

satellite work but is also excellent for terrestrial uses like ATV, repeater operation, and long haul tropo DX.

The CNC machined driven element module is O-ring sealed and weather tight for low maintenance and long-term

peak performance. Internal connections are encapsulated in a space-age silicone gel that seals out moisture and im-

proves power handling. The 3/16” 6061-T6 rod elements are centered to minimize interaction and maintain good elliptici-

ty. Insulators are UV stabilized and locked in place with stainless keepers. Rugged construction, uncompromising perfor-

mance for the boom length: that’s the M2248CP22A!

248CP22A DIMENSION SHEET

248CP22A ASSEMBLY MANUAL

TOOL REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY: screwdriver, 11/32 nut driver or wrench, 7/16” and 1/2” socket or end

wrenches, measuring tape.

1. Assemble the boom using 8-32 X 1-1/4 screws and locknuts to join sections. (SEE DIMENSION SHEET).

ASSEMBLING THE HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS

2. Lay out the elements by “Horizontal” length and position as shown the DIMENSION SHEET. Start with the

reflector (longest) element. Balance it on your finger to find rough center and push on a black button

insulator to about 1/2” off center. Push the element through the holes 1.937” from the rear of the boom and

install the second button, snugging it up into boom. DO NOT BOTHER CENTERING the element at this time

and DO NOT INSTALL the stainless steel shaft retainers yet. It is easier to do it after all the horizontal

elements are installed in the boom.

3. Install the 3/16” rod DRIVEN ELEMENT as you did the reflector. Then continue with the installation of the

DIRECTORS. Note: the Director Elements do not consistently diminish in length from rear to front, so pay

close attention to length and position.

4. Now begin centering the elements. Use a tape measure to EQUALIZE the amount the element sticking out

on each side of the boom. Once you have all the elements centered, sight down the element tips from the

rear comparing each side. Look for any obvious discrepancies and correct if found.

5. Stainless steel SHAFT RETAINERS lock the

elements in place. They should always be

used for permanent and long term antenna

installations. For portable or temporary use,

the button insulators are adequate for holding

the elements and the retainers may be left

off. To install the stainless steel SHAFT

RETAINERS, use thumb and forefinger to

hold the retainer over the end of the PUSH

TUBE ( 3/8" x 3" tube, supplied in the kit),

internal fingers on retainer dished into tube.

HOLD THE ELEMENT FIRMLY TO

PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING OFF CENTER

and press the retainer onto the element end

and continue until retainer butts on insulator

button. Locking pliers, lightly clamped up against opposite button insulator will help maintain center

reference (if you push the first retainer too far, remove element from boom, push retainer completely off the

element, and start over). Install another retainer to the opposite side of the element. Continue installing

retainers until all elements are secured.

6. Mount the HORIZONTAL P.S. DRIVEN ELEMENT ASSEMBLY to the TOP of the boom using a single

8-32 X 1-1/4" screw (SEE PICTURE).

7. Install the 8-32 x 1/4” set screws (internal Allen head - tool supplied) into the SHORTING BARS. Slide the

bars onto the 1/4" Driven Element Block Rods and the 3/16" driven element rod. Position the Shorting Bars

as shown on dimension sheet.

248CP22A ASSEMBLY MANUAL

ASSEMBLING THE VERTICAL ELEMENTS

Note: The vertical element set is shifted forward on the boom by 1/4 wave lengths. This increases isolation

between element planes, improving circularity and ease of phasing / matching the two element sets.

8. Repeat steps #2 through #5 for the Vertical elements, using the Dimension Sheet as your guide to lengths and

spacing.

INSTALLATION OF THE VERTICAL DRIVEN ELEMENT BLOCK DETERMINES THE CIRCULARITY OF

THIS ANTENNA. THE ORIENTATION OF THE BLOCK FOR RHC - RIGHT HAND CIRCULARITY, IS

SHOWN ON THE DIMENSION SHEET.

9. Viewed from the rear of the boom (rearmost Reflector HORIZONTAL), the VERTICAL Driven Element Block

mounts to the LEFT hand side of the boom with the two Balun connectors oriented to the FRONT. Secure with

8-32 x 1-1/4” screw. Install the Shorting Bars as in step #7.

10. Before installing the Baluns and Matching / Phasing Harness, thread 3/8” SEAL NUTS fully onto all

connectors, with the black Neoprene face of the nuts facing out. Attach Baluns and Phasing lines to the

Driven Element Blocks and Junction Block as shown on the picture below. Tighten the connectors gently

using a 7/16" end wrench. Once the connectors are tight, back the Seal Nuts out and finger-tighten firmly up

against the face of the connectors (or tighten gently with 1/2” end wrench). A lot of torque is unnecessary.

Depending on model and polarity, the Vertical balun may loop around another element. This is normal. Form

balun coax until it is close to the boom and secure with a nylon cable tie. Also secure the other balun and the

matching / phasing harness coax with cable ties. Ties should be snug but not crushing or kinking the coax.

11. Use good quality coax and “N” connector for your feedline (see Installation Tips). Secure feed coax near

connector on Junction Block, to provide stress relief. Allow about 60” of coax to hang in a loop between the

rear end of the boom and the reattachment point (at least 12” beyond element tips) on the mast or crossboom.

Do not route feedline thru boom to mast plate as exiting antenna here will adversely affect circular

field.

12. The boom to mast plate is normally mounted to the boom at the balance point (SEE DIMENSION SHEET).

Since the feed line represents significant weight it is best to have it attached and fastened to the boom with

cable ties before final mounting the plate. Use two 1" U-bolts and the stainless nuts and lock washers

provided. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. 2” U-bolts (and stainless steel nuts / lock washers) are provided for

mounting the antenna to your NON-CONDUCTIVE mast or crossboom. Other size u-bolts and cradles are

available upon request.
