NX50 Installation Manual Installing control/monitor wiring

Section 8: Installing control/monitor
wiring
This section describes how to route wiring associated with the remote control and monitoring
of the NX50 transmitter.
Planning complete?
1. Make sure you have read and fully understood the control and monitoring options
described in the NX50 Pre-installation Manual before proceeding.
2. Make sure the control/monitor wires are long enough to allow routing through the
top of the transmitter cabinet and down to the exciter panel.
Routing cables
1. Route all remote control/monitor cables to the top of the transmitter. Two possible
entry holes are provided to accept audio input wiring (see Figure 8.3 on page 8-4 ).
2. Punch the appropriate size hole in the desired control/monitor entry plate as follows
(see Figure 8.3 on page 8-4 ):
– Remove the left-hand or right-hand entry plate from the top of the transmitter.
Each is secured using two M4 screws and has a pre-cut, centered 1/4-inch diameter
hole.
– Use a chassis punch tool (e.g., Greenlee, etc.) to punch the desired size hole in the
entry plate. Make sure the control/monitor cables will pass safely through the hole.
If necessary, you can remove the plate completely to gain access to a smaller,
rectangular hole.
– Install a conduit termination on the entry plate, if desired.
– Re-install the entry plate on top of the transmitter using two M4 screws.
3.
Obtain two ferrite toroids (Nautel Part # LXP44 and either one of Nautel Part # LP23
or LXP38) from the ancillary kit.
