Connecting antenna
Directional Narda antennas are connected to the device via the Narda antenna handle.
Connecting the handle to the device
The antenna handle has a built-in cable with two connectors:
•
Control connector: for power supply and for transmitting the compass data and control
signals
•
N-connector: for transmitting the RF signal
Figure: Control connector (1), N-connector (2)
To connect the handle:
1.
Plug the control cable plug of the handle into the control connector socket on the device
(1) , making sure that the red mark on the control cable plug is aligned with the notch on
the control connector socket (show figure ).
2. Press the control cable plug into the control connector socket using the locking sleeve
until the plug lock clicks into place.
3.
Place the N-connector of the handle into the N-connector of the basic unit
(2)
and tighten
the coupling nut slowly and without tilting.
Connecting the antenna to the handle
Narda directional antennas can be attached to the handle in positions that are at angles of 90
degrees to each other. This makes it quick and easy for you to change the polarization plane
of the antenna.
Push the antenna onto the handle until you hear the connector click into place.
