Proceed the following steps for cables laying and connection:
1. Connect the RG6 coaxial cable to the Out-cabin Unit.
NOTE: There is only one cable connection between the Out-cabin Unit and the In-cabin
Unit (ACU). This cable connection provides:
- PoC (Power over Coax) supply from ACU to the Out-cabin Unit,
- Transfer of receiving L-band signals from Out-cabin Unit to ACU,
- Transfer of transmitting IF (Intermediate Frequency) signals from ACU
to Out-cabin Unit.
2. Lead the coaxial cable into the vehicle cabin.
NOTE: Do not pull the cable by its connector.
Do not bend the cable sharply when pulling it into the vehicle.
3. Install the ACU, Modem and other equipment into a rack, fixed inside the vehicle cabin.
NOTE: Conduct and arrange the cables neatly and securely to prevent their tension or
shaking during the vehicle movement and to ensure the reliable connections.
Do not fold or pull the cable forcibly.
Avoid or minimize the number of cable bends during the installation.
If any cable bend is required, it should be done by wide arc.
This is the only way to ensure that there is no cable damage or negative impact on
the satellite signal.
4. Connect the cable from the Antenna to the ACU “ANTENNA” interface, located at ACU rear
panel (Figure 5-6).
