Waterproofing RF Ports
Before Tape Wrapping
In order to properly weatherproof RF ports, there must be something to be done before tape wrapping.
1.
Cut the rubber mastic tape into 1/5” (5mm) by 4” (100mm) strips.
2.
Wrap the strip around the base of each RF port in the clockwise direction as shown in Figure 10-11. Take
extra care to make sure that the rubber ring would not hinder the subsequent tightening of the RF
connector around the antenna port.

Tape Wrapping around RF Ports
1.
Make sure each RF cable/omni antenna and its connectors are absolutely dry.
2.
Tighten the RF cable/omni antenna connectors around the 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.
