2. CONNECT 100’ DB9 CABLE TO PENETRATION PANEL
2.1 In the computer room, connect
the DB9 end (A) to J16, J17, or J18
(B) on the penetration panel (Fig . 3) .
Record the port used, as you will be
connecting the 45’ RF cable to the
same port on the opposite side . Take
up the slack in the 100’ cable, coil it
and secure to existing cables with
zip-ties .
3. CONNECT 100’ DB9 CABLE TO DIGITAL AMPLIFIER
Once the cables are connected in the computer room, head back to the control
room to finish the installation of the 100’ cable.
3.1 Feed the pigtail end of the cable through any necessary troughs, cord
concealers or desk grommets to get it up to the Digital Amplifier on the
technologist desk .
3.2 Using a mini screwdriver, reattach the 2-pin terminal clip that you removed
earlier to the pigtail end of the cable (Fig . 4) . The black wire is
NEGATIVE and
the red wire is
POSITIVE .
3.3 Connect the terminal pin into the back of the Digital Amplifier in the plug
labeled
ZONE 1 AMP OUT (Fig . 5) .
3.4 Take up the slack in the cable directly in front of the conduit pipe, coil
it, then zip-tie. Leave enough slack to move the Digital Amplifier, around the
desk if necessary . Stuff the zip-tied cable up into the conduit and re-fasten any
access panels .

4. CONNECT 45’ RF CABLE TO PENETRATION PANEL
4.1 Before entering the MRI suite, ensure that you have
no ferrous items (tools, keys, phone, etc .) on your person .
In the MRI suite, connect the 45’ RF cable (A) to the same
DB9 port used in step 2 .1 .

4.2 Once the 45’ cable is connected to penetration panel,
run the other end to the magnet through cable raceway
above the ceiling, along the floor, or through any available
cable troughs (Fig . 6) . It is recommended that you follow
the existing cables that run from the penetration panel to
the magnet . For aesthetics, you may run the cable inside
the shell of the magnet, depending on the model .
