Caution:
Proceed slowly, 1 layer at a time, verifying after each layer is removed that
no cables or other critical components will be damaged by the hole.
15)
Remove the green molex connector (use the small jewelers screwdriver to remove the small screws)
from the
Control Cable
if you have already installed it to the end of your control cable in order to
pass the cable through the hole.
If you haven’t connected it but have
spliced it and striped the
wires, you may cut the end off to have a clean edge then pass the control cable through the hole,
resplice and strip the ends again, then add the green molex connecter (shown in photo below)
connect it to the controller and place it in a cabinet. You will also pass the coax cable(s) through the
roof entry hole into the vehicle. Do not pull the cables taut! Leave 2-3 foot of cable on the roof for
the next steps.
Caution:
Wires for the control cable should be stripped back 1/2” from the end and
bent back to
make a ‘V’ with the cable and then insert into the green
molex connecter.
(Attach the Green 12 Pin Connector in accordance with instructions on the bottom of
the ACU-1 Controller). If the wires are placed too far into the connector, it will clamp
down on the outer plastic shielding, and will not make a good connection to the wire.
Failure to do this correctly will cause your satellite system to malfunction or cause
erratic behavior.
Caution:
Use Dielectric compound grease in both exterior coaxial cable connections to
detour water penetration.
15) Mount the
Weather Covered antenna
junction box (in
‘
clearance zone
’
45
” from
the center of the
antenna)
with screws near the cable connections for the satellite. Connect the controller cable and
coax cables (follow instructions below) and store the connectors inside the weather cover junction
box. Make a 1-2 foot
‘Service
loop
’ with the
cable wires and secure the looped wires on the roof
with wire clips or cable clamps.
