Connecting RF Cables
1.
Make sure each RF cable and its connectors are absolutely dry.
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 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 series antenna ports.

Weatherproofing on A8n 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.
