Do not exceed maximum length for the ODU type (1 W or 2 W), cable type, and cable part
number.
Do not exceed the cable bend radius.
Properly terminate cables.
Connectors and connections
Use only connector types approved for cable type used. Check all connections for tightness.
Outdoors:
Make sure F connectors connected to the radio assembly are tightened to 20 inch-lb torque.
Carefully follow waterproofing procedures, using dielectric grease and Hughes-approved
weatherproof tape.
Power source
Check AC power outlet for correct wiring
Before connecting the modem power supply to the AC power source (using a surge protector),
use an AC outlet tester to verify that the outlet is wired correctly. Wiring problems may include:
• Hot and neutral wires reversed
• Neutral and ground wires reversed
• Open ground (incomplete connection)
• Open neutral
If the outlet is wired improperly, notify the customer you are not permitted to connect the system
to a faulty outlet. Do not proceed with installation until a properly wired outlet is provided.
Check neutral-ground (N-G) voltage
With a digital multimeter set to AC voltage, measure the voltage between neutral and ground
at the AC power outlet. If the N-G voltage measures 2 VAC or greater, please advise the customer
