5.2 RF cable connection
When measuring, the LNB antenna should be connected to the basic unit
via an RF cable. This is to reduce the risk of damaging the connector on the
basic unit due to the weight of the LNB antenna. It also makes it easier to
sweep the volume in question when the LNB antenna alone is moved in
space compared to moving both the basic unit and the antenna, which in the
long run will be very tiresome.
NOTE:
Make sure that the cable does not turn while screwing. Otherwise, the elec -
trical properties of the high-quality coaxial cable could be impaired by tor -
sional forces.
Connecting the RF cable to the basic unit (SRM-3006):

See chapter 3.4.2 in the SRM-3006 operating manual (3006/98.21) for
more detailed information.
