DXE-RR2X8 and DXE-MX2X8 Installation

 

 

1.   Secure the 

DXE-RR2X8B

 switching unit using the included 

DXE-SSVC-2P

 stainless steel V-

Saddle Clamp.  

 
 

Mount the 

DXE-MX2X8

 close to the 

DXE-RR2X8B

 

to keep the interface cable lengths between these units  
to a minimum using the included 

DXE-SSVC-2P

 

stainless steel V-Clamp.  

 
 

The two pictures on this page show just two versions 
of mounting the units. Your set up may vary. 

 
 

The connectors must face downward to avoid 
moisture.  

 
 

Use Never-Seez

®

, Anti-Seize or Jet Lube SS-30 on 

all stainless steel hardware to prevent galling. 

 
2.   Fasten all cables to the mounting mast or tower to 

relieve strain, and gently droop the cables to form a 
drip loop (do not use tight bends with coaxial cable). 
Install both of the units with the connectors facing 
down and use gradual bends or loops in heavy wires. 
If the system is mounted to a wooden pole or building, 
a wide copper flashing or heavy wire or strap should 
be connected from the mounting bracket to a good 
ground. 

 

Note:  

Do not seal the connectors! The connectors are 
recessed inside a drip edge that prevents water 
from getting into connectors. The cover-to-
connector plate junction is not sealed so the unit 
can "breathe” and eliminate condensation.
