Step 4—Connect
Antennas
The antenna cables may have either hex-heads for wrench tightening or knurled
ends for finger tightening. If the antenna cables have knurled ends, use your
fingers to firmly tighten the connection. If you have hex-heads, do not tighten
these connectors beyond 30 inch-pounds of torque. If a torque wrench is
unavailable, BelAir recommends that these connectors be hand tightened plus
one quarter turn.
Use thread-locker to secure the connection and ensure a waterproof seal
between the antenna and its RF cable.
As a further measure to ensure a waterproof seal and to reduce any possible
mechanical loosening of the connector, installers should wrap the connectors
with self-amalgamating tape. Installers should take steps to ensure that the
antenna connections remain mechanically tight and waterproof at all times.
1 Using the RF cables from the Pedestal Antenna Kit:
—Connect one antenna to antenna connector 1. See
.
—Connect the second antenna to antenna connector 2. See
2 Use cable ties as required for cable dressing.
Step 5—Connect Power
1 Ensure the plant power supply is turned off for your location and that cable
is unpowered.
2 Ensure that the unit is properly grounded. See
for the
location of ground points of the unit.
3 Using industry standard procedures and the manufacturer’ procedures,
prepare the power cable and install the coaxial cable terminator with a KS
male interface or the KS to F-type adapter. The center conductor of the KS
male interface must be cut to a length of 1/2 inch (approx. 12 mm). The
coaxial cable terminator may contain a cutting guide. See
