Connecting the Antenna (2- to 6-bay)
28
Connect the antenna
bay cables.
CAUTION
Stressing a coax connection after assembly can detune the system.
Therefore, never make a connection and then bend or twist the cable, or
use the connector to force the coax into shape. Form the cable first,
then attach it to the connector.
CAUTION
The minimum single bending radius for HCA78-50J coax is 4" (100 mm).
The repeated bending radius is 10" (250 mm). Do not bend it too tightly;
you may damage it.
CAUTION
The minimum bending radius for 1/2" coax is 3" (8 cm). Do not bend it
too tightly; you may damage it.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the connectors. Overtightening may damage them.
a. Connect the output end (90° connectors) of the antenna bay cable ( 47 , 50 ,
56 , or 59 ) to the DIN connector at the bottom of the endseal.

connection
b. Run the cable along the antenna weldment and secure it, using tie-wraps
( 44 ), so as to prevent it moving and chafing against the U-bolt or other
surfaces.
c. Connect the input end of the antenna bay cable to the power divider DIN
outputs.
d. Secure the cable to the mounting pipe or tower leg, using tie-wraps or
customer-supplied cable clamps.
e. Repeat for the other antenna bay(s).
