2.

 

Loosely connect all the RF cables from each RF port. Do not tighten 
up any of the connections. 

 
3.

 

Secure the RF cable bundles to the pole. 

 
4.

 

Tighten  the  RF  cable  connectors  around  the  A8n  (ac)  series  5GHz 
antenna  ports  with  a  torque  wrench  to  the  proper  torque  limit  to 
ensure that correct internal seals and surface contacts are made. If 
a torque wrench is not available, first tighten the connector to finger 
tight, then tighten it with a wrench for an additional ⅛ to ¼ turn from 
the finger tight position. 

 

5.

 

Weatherproof the A8n (ac) series antenna ports. 

 
 

Weatherproofing on A8n (ac) 2.4GHz Radio Antenna 
Ports

 

 

 
1.

 

Start wrapping a layer of electrical tape from 1/4” (6mm) above the 
edge of  the  RF  cable  connector.  Overlap  the  tape  to  half  –width. 
The tape should cover the RF cable connector body, and extend 1” 
(25mm) above the cable connector clamping nut. 

 

The  tape can  be  applied  in  one  or more strips  if  necessary.  A  strip 
can  be  coiled  onto  an  applicator  such  as  a  pencil.  Apply  only 
enough tension to get good adhesion and keep the tape smooth.
