Seal tape can be purchased at most Industrial Supply Stores,
Hardware and Home Center Stores, or Electronic Supply Stores.
Regardless of the antenna used, it is always best to weatherproof the
antenna connection using seal tape.
NOTICE
Failure to follow these instructions will cause damage to the
product, prevent proper sealing of the enclosure and will
void
the Manufacturers Warranty.
Applying Seal Tape:
1. Attach the antenna to the 50
Ω
BNC connector on the OUTPOST
®
Callbox enclosure.
2. Begin wrapping seal tape at the base of the antenna connector
such that it is sealed to the enclosure top.
3. Overlap the seal tape as you tightly wrap upward around the
connector and antenna. Continue to overlap seal tape around the
connector base, past the articulated portion of the antenna and
several inches up the thin, shiny section of the antenna.
