Connect the antenna
bay.
a. Provide a gas stop between the tower transmission line and the antenna
input if necessary. The antenna bay is not pressurized. The feed system up
to the bay may be pressurized.
CAUTION
All O-rings are made of silicone. Do not lubricate them with silicone
grease, as this will soften the O-ring. Use only a light lubricating coat of
O-Lube (provided) or petroleum jelly; too much may hamper electrical
contact and contaminate the interior of the system.
Be sure the O-ring is properly seated in its groove and not pinched
between the flange contact surfaces.
b. Coat the flange O-ring ( Figure 15 , 26 ) lightly with O-Lube, then install it in
the O-ring groove in the flange.
c. Before connecting the cable to the radiator, make sure an inner conductor
connector is in place in the inner conductor of the input flange.
