Shakespeare Electronic Galaxy Style 5310-R User manual

Galaxy®Style 5310-R
Thank you for purchasing a Shakespeare antenna product.
Customer comments are welcome. Before installing, please study the
diagram and check parts supplied against those listed.
IMPORTANT! Please read all instructions before installing.
The Galaxy®Style 5310-R is an SSB marine whip antenna of
23’ overall length with conductors running full length and stainless
steel ferrules. The two-section antenna has a 1” 14-thread ferrule for
mounting to deck or bulkhead. Insulating properties in this antenna
will support power up to 1 KW.
Installation Instructions
Choose a mounting location that is as free as possible from
obstructions, and as far as possible from other antennas and sources
of RF.
1. Inspect the O-ring seal to be sure it is seated in the groove of the
base section’s upper ferrule. Thread the tip section onto the base
section’s upper ferrule and hand tighten securely. When properly
installed, the ferrule on the tip section will completely cover the
threaded portion of the base section’s ferrule.
2. Mount the antenna to deck or bulkhead using a Shakespeare Style
409-R or 410-R Mounting Kit (each sold separately). Follow the
mounting instructions included with the mount you choose. This
antenna requires an upper support bracket, which must be
installed at least 3 to 5 feet above the antenna’s base where
possible.
3. SSB antennas and transceivers require adequate grounding
systems. Follow the radio manufacturer’s instructions for
connecting the antenna to your SSB radio system.
Cleaning instructions
To clean the antenna, use mild dishwashing liquid (one that is
not harsh to the hands and without ammonia) in lukewarm water.
WARNING: Do not let paint solvents, cleaning solvents, or
adhesive caulking come in contact with the antenna. Chemicals in
these materials might destroy the nish.
