Follow these steps to connect the switchplate to
the antenna.
a.
First dress the data and power cables from
the antenna. Strip back the insulation of each
wire approximately 1/4" (6 mm) and gently
twist each wire to ensure a good electrical
connection.
b.
Connect the data cable from the antenna to
the terminal board on the back of the
switchplate (see Figure 18). Be sure to match
the wire colors with the terminal board label.
Tighten the terminal screws to secure all
wires in place.
c.
Connect the power cable from the antenna to
the switchplate’s power output terminals (see
