Taco Y-101-D Instruction Sheet

Brand: Taco

Model: Y-101-D

Category: Network antennas

Type: Instruction Sheet

Taco Y-101-D is a ruggedized Yagi antenna designed for superior signal reception and transmission. With its durable construction, it can withstand harsh outdoor conditions, making it ideal for various applications. The antenna features multiple elements, including a dipole and parasitic elements, which enhance its directivity and gain, resulting in improved signal strength and reduced interference. It comes with a mounting clamp for secure installation on a tower or support structure.

Please Note: A qualified structural engineer

should be consulted prior to mounting an

antenna on a tower or support structure.

The Yagi dipoles and parasitic elements are all identified with a letter i.e. A, B, C, D and E. These markings will be

found on the crossarm indicating the location these elements are to be assembled on the crossarm (See Figure 6).

The antenna main mounting clamp holes are located in the crossarm perpendicular to the element holes. The dipole

insulators and parasitic elements mount to the same side of the crossarm.

Note: All Y-101 and Y-81 series Yagi have a two-piece crossarm. The antenna main mounting clamp is used to

assemble the two halves together and for this purpose four (4) 3/8” Dia. Bolts are supplied.

Start with the director element and the dipole elements and assemble them to their marked locations on the

crossarm as shown in Figure 1. Shims are supplied with Y-101-65, -4, -B, -5, -6, -C, -FM, -D,-H, and –E, to be

assembled with the dipole elements as shown in Figure 1. The dipoles are attached with 2 ¼ or 2 ½ (for models with

shims) inch long 1/4 inch bolts.

Next assemble the feedlines connecting the dipole elements as shown using feedline clamps and 5/8 inch long

10-32 screws (See Figure 2). Attach feedlines at dipoles to top of clamps with a centre-to-centre spacing of 3/4 inch

(See Figure 2).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. To protect your antenna and equipment from lightning damage, you should use a lightning arrestor. Attach the

lightning arrestor to the downlead at the point where it enters the building. Drive a ground rod at least 4 feet

into the ground. Use ground wire to connect the antenna mast and the lightning arrestor to the ground rod.

2. Keep antenna and downlead a safe distance from any power lines.

The antenna Braces are assembled to the crossarm at the unmarked holes (perpendicular to the

element holes) with 1/4” x 2½” Hex Head Bolts, Reinforcing Clip, Washer, Lockwasher and Hex Nut.

The opposite ends of the braces are assembled to the mast (mounting pipe) using the channel and 3/8”

U-Bolt, Washer, Lockwasher and Hex Nut assembly as shown in Figure 5.

(See Figure 5 for normal installation)

For stacking antennas in an array on a limited frame, the antenna support braces can be inverted or in-

stalled going up at an angle instead of going down at an angle. CAUTION must be used to insure that the

antenna radiators be oriented in spaces identical (in phase condition), therefore to eliminate any interfer-

ence between brace and antenna, a 2 in. spacer (not supplied) must be installed between antenna

crossarm and brace bars as shown in Figure 7.
