of the radio signals in the area. For most installations, Rauland recommends the
antenna system shown in the attached wiring diagram, KM0710.
Important:
The system should be installed with some protection against lightning. Articles
810 and 820 of the National Electrical code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1978, provide
detailed information regarding the grounding of (a) the mast and the supporting
structure, (b) the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, and (c) the coaxial
cable system. The Code also specifies the size of the grounding conductors, the
locations of the antenna discharge units, the connections to the grounding
electrode, and the requirements for the grounding electrode. An example of an
installation meeting these requirements is given in the attached illustration,
IL0153.
Audio Output
Obtain a single-conductor shielded cable of suitable length to connect the Audio
Output jack on the back of the chassis to the Auxiliary or Tuner input of the sound
or communications system. Terminate one end of the cable in a male
RCA
-type
phono plug; the other end should have a connector that matches the input of the
system.
Plug the RCA-type phono plug into the “Audio Output” jack of the MCX300, and
the other end of the cable into the “Auxiliary” or “Tuner” input of the main system.
Power
Insert the output plug of the power supply into the “Power Input” jack on the back
of the MCX300, then plug the power supply itself into a suitable 120-VAC outlet.
