Follow these steps to connect the antenna RF
cable(s) to the antenna.
a.
First determine the number of RF coax cables
you need for your installation (see Figure 10).
b.
Clearly label the RF1 cable at both ends. If
you connect two or more RF cables, label both
ends of each cable to match the connector.
This will make it easier to identify them later.
c.
Route the RF cable(s) belowdecks through the
cable access hole. Leave an adequate service
loop, approximately 8" (20 cm) of slack, in the
cable(s) for easy serviceability.
d.
Position the antenna in place over the
mounting holes with the baseplate’s
connectors facing the stern.
e.
Clean and dry the connectors on the RF
cable(s) and the antenna (see Figure 11).
f.
Fill half of the inner body of the RF1 cable’s
connector with the supplied silicone grease.
g.
Connect and
SLOWLY
hand-tighten the RF1
cable to the “RF1” connector on the side of
the antenna, allowing the grease to diffuse
and settle into the entire space within the
h.
Make sure the RF cable is hand-tightened all
the way into the connector. Then tighten it
with a 7/16" torque wrench to 20 in-lbs, or a
7/16" wrench for 1/4 turn.
i.
Wipe off any excess grease from the outside
of the connector.
CAUTION
Observe the safe handling instructions in the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided
with the silicone grease.
If you wish to route the cable(s) through the
bottom of the antenna’s baseplate, rather than
connecting at the side, you will need to
modify the antenna’s baseplate. See
the Bottom Cable Entry Kit” on page 45
for
details.
