Connect the tower
transmission line.
a. Provide a gas stop between the tower transmission line and the power
divider (or transformer) if necessary. The antennas bays are not pressurized.
The feed system up to the power divider may be pressurized.
b. Using an lightly lubricated O-ring ( 32 ) and the 1-5/8" EIA flange hardware
kit ( 33 ), attach the tower transmission cable to the power divider (or
transformer) input. Tighten in accordance with Table 1 on page 1.
c. Secure all the cables to the mounting pole or tower leg, using tie-wraps () or
customer-supplied cable clamps.
d. Loop or drape any excess cable and tie-wrap it to the pole, to prevent wind
damage to the cables and to ensure the weight of the cable is not carried by
the antenna input.
NOTE
The Model 6842 antenna does not require pressurization or purging. The
feed system up to the power divider may be pressurized.
