SIRIO AS 100, AS 145, AS 170 Installation Manual | Manualzz
 ( INSTALLATION AND TUNING INSTRUCTIONS )
INSTALLATION
1) Hole mount installation
A) Hole Drilling: Chose the position on your
vehicle (centre roof is recommended) and drill
a hole according to the mount diameter.
Please ensure a good electrical ground contact
is made.
B) Connections: Position the cable in your
vehicle shortening its length according to your
needs. Connect the PL259-male to the cable
ready for the connection to the transceiver.
C) Electrical Tests: Ensure there is no short
circuit between the central pin and the nut of
the connector. Ensure there is electrical
continuity of the cable from the central pin
(connector side) to the central contact
(antenna side). Ensure there is electrical
continuity of the cable from the nut (connector
side) to the ground (antenna side)
REMARKS: As some antennas are in short
circuit and it would be impossible to do the test
after the installation, we recommend you test
the cable prior to connecting the antenna.
D) Installation: Pay attention to securing all
screws and nuts during the final installation.
E) Suggestion: After the final installation and
BEFORE connecting your transceiver, we
recommend an electrical continuity check
between the nut of the PL259 and the ground
of your vehicle.
2) Special mounts installation: Follow the
same instructions of Point 1.
3) Magnetic mount installation: Follow the
instructions supplied with the magnetic
mount.
TUNING
Most of the antennas are factory tuned and
dont need any extra tuning, but in case of fine
adjustments we recommend to follow the
procedure below:
A) To perform a correct test, move to an open
space far from metal parts such as metal doors,
buildings, towers, gates etc. at minimum 50
metres or more.
B) Connect your SWR-meter between the
antenna connector and your CB transceiver
(follow the instructions of your SWR-meter for
the correct use to your equipment).
C) The following procedure is used for the
tuning of the 40 channels CB-band Radio in
the range of:
CH-1 = 26.965 MHz to CH-40 = 27.405
MHz with CH-19 = 27.185 MHZz as centre
band for EU Frequencies.
CH-1 = 27.601 MHz to CH-40 = 27.991
MHz with CH-19 = 27.781 MHz as centre
band for UK Frequencies.
Select CH-1 on your CB-transceiver and take
an SWR measurement, writing down the
results. Transmit only for a few seconds
because in case the SWR is too high the
transceiver could be damaged.
D) Repeat the procedure for CH-19 and CH-40
E) If all SWR results are very high (more than 3)
probably theres a short circuit in the cable or
your antenna is defective. To avoid
damages to your CB transceiver DO NOT
use it until the problem is rectified.
F) If the SWR results are the same on CH-1 and
CH-40 and the lower value is on CH-19, your
antenna doesnt need any tuning.
G) If the SWR result on CH-1 is lower than CH-
40 your antennas electrically TOO LONG and
you should slightly cut the radiator by 10mm
at a time. Avoid cutting too much. As long as
you get the same values on CH-1 as well as
CH-40.
H) If the SWR result on CH-40 is lower than CH-
| your antenna is electrically TOO SHORT and
you need to pull out the radiator as long as
you get the same values on CH-1 as well as
CH-40.
REMARK
Some antennas can be tuned only by
adjusting special rings, nuts or screws
so you can follow the above
procedure but you don't need to cut or
extend the radiator.

( ISTRUZIONI DI INSTALLAZIONE E TARATURA )
INSTALLAZIONE
1) Installazione con foratura della
carrozzeria:
A) Foratura: Praticare il foro del diametro
richiesto nella posizione desiderata
(consigliato a centro tetto). Togliere la vernice
nella parte interna della carrozzeria per
garantire un buon contatto elettrico di massa.
B) Collegamenti: Posizionare il cavo
dell'antenna accorciandolo in base alle
necessita, quindi montare il connettore PL
259 maschio per la connessione all'apparato
CB.
C) Verifiche elettriche: Assenza di corto
circuito tra spina centrale e ghiera di massa del
connettore, continuita elettrica del
conduttore centrale da un’estremita all'altra
del cavo, continuita elettrica calza cavo dalla
ghiera lato connettore al contatto di massa
lato connettore d'antenna.
N.B.: Si consiglia di testare il cavo lasciandolo
scollegato dall'antenna poiché alcune
antenne sono elettricamente in corto circuito
e non € possibile eseguire il test ad
installazione completata.
D) Installazione: Completare il montaggio
dell‘antenna serrando adeguatamente viti e
bulloni.
E) Consiglio: a montaggio terminato e PRIMA
di connettere il trasmettitore, si consiglia di
verificare la continuita elettrica tra la ghiera del
connettore PL 259 e un punto di massa della
carrozzeria.
2) Installazione con attacchi special:
seguire la stessa procedura del punto |.
3) Installazione temporanea con basi
magnetiche: seguire le istruzioni fornite con
la base magnetica ricordandosi che si tratta di
un’installazione TEMPORANEA.
TARATURA
Le antenne sono pre-tarate in fabbrica
pertanto nella maggior parte dei casi non
necessitano di taratura. In caso si renda
necessaria una leggera taratura consigliamo
di seguire la procedura riportata di seguito.
A) Recarsi in spazio aperto ad almeno 50 metri
O piú da oggetti metallici quali cancelli,
lampioni, edifici o tralicci.
B) Collegare un SWkR-meter (ROS-metro) tra il
connettore dell'antenna e il trasmettitore CB.
Seguire le istruzioni del ROS-metro рег |
corretto utilizzo dell'apparato.
C) La seguente procedura si applica per la
taratura dei 40 canali omologati per banda CB
compresi nel range di frequenza da CH-1 =
26.965 MHz a CH-40 = 27.405 MHz con
CH-19 =27.185MHz in centro banda.
Selezionare il CH-1 sul trasmettitore CB ed
effettuare la misura di SWR annotandone il
valore. Trasmettere sempre per pochi
secondi perché se I' SWR fosse molto alto
si potrebbe danneggiare il trasmettitore.
D) Ripetere l'operazione anche per il CH-19 e il
CH-40.
E) Se tutti e tre i valori di SWR sono molto alti
(maggiori del valore 3) o tendenti a infinito,
probabilmente e presente un corto circuito nel
cablaggio oppure l'antenna € guasta. Per
evitare di danneggiare il vostro
trasmettitore CB_NON utilizzarlo finché il
problema non sara risolto.
F) Se i valori di SWR sono uguali per CH-1 e CH-
40 e il valore minimo si ha su CH-19, la vostra
antenna non necessita di alcuna taratura.
G) Se il valore di SWR € piú basso su CH-1
rispetto a CH-0, la vostra antenna ©
elettricamente “lunga”, quindi accorciare lo
stilo di circa 10mm alla volta fino ad ottenere
gli stessi valori di SWR sia su CH-1 che su CH-40.
H) Se il valore di SWR € piu basso su CH-40
rispetto a CH-1, la vostra antenna é
elettricamente “corta”, quindi allungare lo
stilo sfilandolo di 10mm alla volta fino ad
ottenere gli stessi valori di SWR sia su CH-1 che
su CH-40.
NOTA BENE
Per alcuni tipi di antenna la modifica
della frequenza si ottiene agendo su
speciali Anelli, Viti o Ghiere di taratura,
pertanto la procedura sopra descritta
rimane inalterata ma non occorrera
accorciare o allungare lo stilo.
