AL PLUS Series Low and Medium Power UHF Television Antenna

Features • Fast delivery • Light weight, low windload • Quick, low-cost installation • Four azimuth patterns available • Up to 10 kW DTV (23 kW analog) input power rating • 8- and 12-bay models • Multichannel versions available

Characteristics Low and Medium Power UHF Antenna Frequency Range 470 – 806 MHz (U.S. channels 14-69, European channels 21E-62E) Systems Operating Frequency Specify by channel number or frequency band Now television stations have a cost-effective solution for their Input Impedance 50 ohms digital and analog requirements with the new AL PLUS Series Input Type 1-5/8” EIA for low power and 3-1/8” EIA for medium power broadcast antennas from ERI. With a low cost to purchase, VSWR 1.10:1 over single channel install, operate and maintain, this antenna is an ideal interim Beam Tilt 1.75 degrees for 8-Bay, 1.25 degrees for 12-Bay solution for many stations looking to meet the FCC’s minimal DTV facility requirement as well as the perfect choice for low power NTSC services. The AL PLUS Series is a horizontally polarized UHF antenna. Incorporating advanced ERI TRASAR® technology, the AL PLUS features a reliable, end fed design for maintenance-free operation. Developed to handle up to 10kW of digital power (23kW analog), they provide Effective Radiated Power (ERP) levels up to 450kW (1MW analog). Designed to be compact and lightweight, the AL PLUS minimizes tower loading and simplifies installation.
