Step 3—Connect
Antennas
The antenna cables may have either hex-heads for wrench tightening or knurled
ends for finger tightening. If the antenna cables have knurled ends, use your
fingers to firmly tighten the connection. If you have hex-heads, do not tighten
these connectors beyond 30 inch-pounds of torque. If a torque wrench is
unavailable, BelAir recommends that these connectors be hand tightened plus
one quarter turn.
Use thread-locker to secure the connection and ensure a waterproof seal
between the antenna and its RF cable.
As a further measure to ensure a waterproof seal and to reduce any possible
mechanical loosening of the connector, installers should wrap the connectors
with self-amalgamating tape. Installers should take steps to ensure that the
antenna connections remain mechanically tight and waterproof at all times.
