About Us
Lift A Whip Information Sheet.
Lift A Whip was created by me (Bryan Leeson) after enduring difficulties with having a very tall offroad truck. I wanted to mount an aerial on the roof rack for maximum range but did not want to have to climb over 2.5 mts into the air to raise or lower the RFI Aerial when parking my vehicle in my shed or when driving under trees etc. Whilst in the bush.
Now I just push the button on the dash for up or down with no risk of falling or injury.

Electrical
- Step 1
Use a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch for this installation, the centre 2 pins are for your 12v or 24v feed, please make sure there is a 10-amp fuse inline from the power source to the switch then connect as shown in photo.
- Step 2
Connect the wiring to the Lift a Whip to the 4 remaining pins connecting the diagonally opposite pins together to allow for the polarity to reverse when switched. As shown in the picture.
- Step 3
Join the 2 positive wires together and the 2 negative wires together from the top and bottom wires on the switch with crimp terminals, as shown in photo.
- Step 4
Join the wires from the switch to the 2 wires on the actuator pos to pos neg to neg . I suggest crimp terminals, solder and heat shrink all joins/terminals. The actuator has its own built in limit switch and will cut out at full range of motion up or down.
