Preparation
1 Preparation
Check the shipment.
Torque specifications.
As soon as you receive your antenna, a. Check to be sure all the material has arrived. b. Check for evident damage to any of the boxes. c. If any boxes are missing, or if any are obviously damaged, describe the
problem in a WRITTEN note on the shipping papers BEFORE signing them. Then call Shively right away, and we’ll do everything we can to correct the situation.
BEFORE
signing for the shipment:
Important!
Never store the antenna system outdoors, boxed or otherwise. Take pains to keep the antenna components dry. You will need to purge mois ture from the interior of the antenna components before applying trans­mitter power, and purging will be much more time-consuming if the components get wet.
NOTE
Use an anti-seize compound to minimize galling on stainless steel threads.

Startup

WARNING
Whenever a rigger is on the tower in the area of the antenna, shut off the signal and lock it off so that it cannot be turned on accidentally. RF emissions at close range are hazardous.
NOTE
The Versa2une does not require pressurization or purging.
Optimize VSWR.
Figure 45. Apply the signal
(Figure 45) Apply a low-power signal to the antenna and read reflected power (VSWR). VSWR should be below 1.2:1.
Adjust to minimize reflected power if necessary.
Operate.
a. Loosen one jam nut on one arm of one antenna element and lengthen that
arm by 10 mm (3/8"). With personnel clear, check VSWR again.
b. If the VSWR (reflected power) has increased, return that arm to its original
setting. Then shorten ALL arms by 3 mm (1/8").
c. If the VSWR has decreased, return that arm to its original setting. Then
lengthen ALL arms by 3 mm (1/8"). d. Repeat steps a - c until VSWR is below 1.2:1. e. Secure all the arms by tightening their jam nuts.
Once the antenna has been installed and VSWR has been confirmed, simply apply the transmitter signal. Don’t exceed the rated power of the antenna.

Troubleshooting
9 Troubleshooting
Broad Spectrum RF Noise
High VSWR
Change in Coverage
This indicates that some component is not in good electrical contact with the tower. Make sure mounts are tight, that tower paint has been removed from under the mounts, and that components of other systems are likewise in good contact with the tower.
This is caused by any factor that changes the impedance match between the antenna and the transmitter. Look for:
• Defective RF connector. Make sure connectors are in good shape, and that center pins are not bent over.
• Damage to any antenna components.
• Paint on radiators.
• Ice buildup on radiators.
• Interference from other tower components, especially components broken by wind or ice.
This may be caused by the same factors that can cause high VSWR. Look for VSWR changes as well.
Do recognize, however, that apparent changes in coverage may be due to sub­jective factors or faults of the receiving equipment. Before doing more than checking the VSWR, be sure that an actual coverage change has occurred.

Maintenance
10 Maintenance
WARNING
Whenever a rigger is on the tower in the area of the antenna, shut off the signal and lock it off so that it cannot be turned on accidentally. RF emissions at close range are hazardous.
Log
Inspection
Paint Return Policy
We recommend that you keep a log of VSWR readings and any other perfor­mance notes and maintenance history for your antenna. Such a record can be invaluable for troubleshooting.
Whenever a rigger is on the tower for any reason, it is a good idea to have him check your antenna for general condition, looseness of connectors and mounts, and electrical damage.
The radiator should never be painted; this will affect the VSWR.
When returning any material to the factory, be sure to call your salesperson and obtain an returned materials authorization (RMA) number first. Material may be refused and sent back to you at your expense if you don’t do this.
