•
Survey the planned cable route
and look for any blocked passages.
Consider alternate routes to find
the best available path. If extension
cables are needed, refer to the cable
configuration diagram. Always keep
the cables as short as possible to make
sure that minimum cable losses are
achieved.
•
Tighten the cable’s SMA connectors
to 0.3-0.6Nm torque to ensure that
the OMNI-232-02 cables are properly
secured to the extension cables
Note:
Take advantage of any existing
cable channels e.g., brake light opening
or wiring conduits to route the cables.
•
Avoid running cables through
components or sharp apertures that
may cause excessive chafing. Doing so
may erode the jacket and break signal
continuity. Also, avoid kinking, pinching,
or twisting a cable during a run.
•
Use cable ties to secure the antenna
cables.
When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:
•
Never pull on the cable connectors;
pull only on the cable.
•
Never run cables in a manner that
interferes with the driver’s ability to
safely operate the vehicle.
•
Tighten the connectors that connect
to the modem/radio to 0.3-0.6NM to
ensure that the cables don’t rattle
loose.
