AC Power Wiring for Primary Cabinet
The following sub-sections describe how to connect AC power to the primary repeater cabinet. See
Installing the Growth Cabinet
for details on how AC power is connected to the Second Channel or
Growth Cabinet.
Inside Wiring
For installations that are located inside of a building (in a protected area), connect the AC input power
to the Repeater. A standard 8-foot long North American NEMA 15-5 (three prong) AC line cord is
included with the Repeater Accessory Kit. You can substitute a longer cord if needed. Figure 97
shows a typical installation.
WARNING: If the line cord is not connected, and plugged it into the repeater receptacle, EXACTLY as
described and illustrated in this section, the repeater can be physically damaged, and anyone
operating or servicing the repeater can be injured by electrical shock.
1. Feed the power cord through the ½ -inch plastic strain-relief.
The strain-relief is a watertight plastic connector, provided to relieve strain on the AC power
cord. This connector is included in the Repeater Accessory Kit. Figure 98 shows how to
install the strain-relief.
2. Insert the strain-relief for the AC power cord, into the Entry Box of the main repeater cabinet,
as shown in Figure 99.
•
Insert the cord into the upper-left conduit opening, as shown in Figure 99 and
Figure 100.
•
Feed the stripped and tinned end of the line cord through the plastic strain-relief, so
that approximately 6 inches of line cord is inside the Entry Box opening.
