DXE-RR2X8 and DXE-MX2X8 Installation
1. Secure the
DXE-RR2X8B
switching unit using the included
DXE-SSVC-2P
stainless steel V-
Saddle Clamp.
Mount the
DXE-MX2X8
close to the
DXE-RR2X8B
to keep the interface cable lengths between these units
to a minimum using the included
DXE-SSVC-2P
stainless steel V-Clamp.
The two pictures on this page show just two versions
of mounting the units. Your set up may vary.
The connectors must face downward to avoid
moisture.
Use Never-Seez
®
, Anti-Seize or Jet Lube SS-30 on
all stainless steel hardware to prevent galling.
2. Fasten all cables to the mounting mast or tower to
relieve strain, and gently droop the cables to form a
drip loop (do not use tight bends with coaxial cable).
Install both of the units with the connectors facing
down and use gradual bends or loops in heavy wires.
If the system is mounted to a wooden pole or building,
a wide copper flashing or heavy wire or strap should
be connected from the mounting bracket to a good
ground.
Note:
Do not seal the connectors! The connectors are
recessed inside a drip edge that prevents water
from getting into connectors. The cover-to-
connector plate junction is not sealed so the unit
can "breathe” and eliminate condensation.
