Reflector / Director
Connections - splice
or crim
sleeve
Locate the small bag of crimp sleeves (5 +1spare).
After completing the wiring of the Reflector and Director elements the ends must be connected to
complete the Quad loop. Slide both ends through the sleeve as shown in fig 3b. Pull wire
through to eliminate the slack in the wire. Temporarily fold each wire end as above to hold the
wire position. Check the tension in all of the sides of this element, making sure that the arms are
"square" and in line. Make an adjustment at the sleeve and if satisfied Crimp, or solder the
element wire into the sleeve. This technique allows you to get the element wire tension correct
without committing to a wire wrap or crimped connection.
