RF Choke (included). Momobeam antennas are designed to operate over a large bandwidth for each band. No adjustment to the antenna is necessary if the assembly is in accordance with all instructions.
3. Keep the Boom upside down while completing Step 3 (3.2, 3.3 and RF Choke), then rotate the boom back such that the elements are now mounted on the bottom prior to Step 3.4. pag. 5 Momobeam C.da Berbarello 508 - IT-91025 Marsala Italy P.Iva IT-02439250818 Tel. +39 393 9906980 – info@momobeam.com www.momobeam.com...

Do not over-tighten. Extreme force is not required! Once hardware begins to seat firmly, it only takes a few more turns to properly secure parts. pag. 6 Momobeam C.da Berbarello 508 - IT-91025 Marsala Italy P.Iva IT-02439250818 Tel. +39 393 9906980 – info@momobeam.com www.momobeam.com...

IMPORTANT: The boom-to-mast plate is NOT symmetrical and must be assembled as shown in the picture. Note: The boom-to-mast plate must be mounted perpendicular to the ground. pag. 7 Momobeam C.da Berbarello 508 - IT-91025 Marsala Italy P.Iva IT-02439250818 Tel. +39 393 9906980 – info@momobeam.com www.momobeam.com...

The Boom should now be rotated such that element plate assembly can be done on the top side of the boom. Element location markings on the boom should now be on top. pag. 8 Momobeam C.da Berbarello 508 - IT-91025 Marsala Italy P.Iva IT-02439250818 Tel. +39 393 9906980 – info@momobeam.com www.momobeam.com...

Tighten bolts firmly. Make sure clamps are tightened evenly alternating between the bolts. There should be no gaps between the two insulating clamps. Do not over tighten. pag. 10 Momobeam C.da Berbarello 508 - IT-91025 Marsala Italy P.Iva IT-02439250818 Tel. +39 393 9906980 – info@momobeam.com www.momobeam.com...

This creates an excellent electrical connection and a high strength mechanical junction. All larger diameter holes must face downward. pag. 15 Momobeam C.da Berbarello 508 - IT-91025 Marsala Italy P.Iva IT-02439250818 Tel. +39 393 9906980 – info@momobeam.com www.momobeam.com...
Interaction with nearby metal objects or other antennas If no errors are found in the measurements, it is likely that your new Momobeam antenna has been mounted at an insufficient height (less than 10 meters) or it is possible that there is an interaction with other antennas or metallic objects (if they are less than 3 meters / 10 ft away).
