| Description: | The
Valcom Model V-147-CL2-TH is a heavy duty, field proven, high
reliability coil-loaded, 49-foot whip antenna. The base and
second section are inductively loaded to the resonant frequency
specified by the customer. The bandwidth enhancing capacitive loading produced by the 8 small
"top hat" whips make this antenna particularly well suited
for use with Traveler Information Service (TIS) systems operating in
the AM frequency band. The pedestal base mounts the antenna to its foundation. The base is made of a continuation of the same high strength filament fibreglass used in the antenna. The result is an integral base insulator with exceptional electrical and mechanical properties. Power handling capabilities are improved while eliminating the weight of conventional brass and porcelain insulators. The shape transmits the bending moment evenly to the base mounting bolts. The V-147-CL2-TH is available in two standard configurations to meet various system and installation requirements. The standard model is provided with an above-the-base feed point which is 18 inches above the bottom of the base. The optional configuration of the coil-loaded antenna is with a base feed-through insulator. For the feed-through model, a heavy duty galvanized steel tower (VTGS-20) is available in two-foot increments up to eight feet. These towers are used with both models to clear obstructions and the snow line. |
