Mounting the RF 450 Antenna

The RF 450 MHz antenna must be installed by professionals in
accordance with the FCC site license before you begin the installation
of the R450 DC.

WARNING: Mounting and wiring the RF 450 MHz antenna
must be done by a trained professional. Be sure to
subcontract this work, so it is completed properly.

AVERTISSEMENT: L’installation et le câblage de l’antenne
RF 450 MHz doivent être effectués par un professionnel
qualifié. Veillez à donner cette tâche en sous-traitance pour
la mener à bien convenablement.

CAUTION: Check the cable, connectors, and the antenna
installation with the VSWR meter.

MISE en GARDE: Vérifiez l’installation du câble, des
connecteurs et de l’antenne à l’aide du rapport de tensions
des ondes stationnaires.

To mount the RF 450 MHz antenna, complete these steps.

1. Assemble the RF 450 MHz antenna, per the instructions

included with the antenna kit See Figure 74.

2. Use the mounting hardware included with the antenna to mount

the antenna per the supplied instructions.

3. Install the antenna in accordance with the FCC site license (per

the antenna mounting instructions contained in this appendix).

4. Weatherize the antenna coaxial connector using the

weatherizing kit. See Table 18 on page 98.
