Step 2: Connect and Weatherproof Ethernet and Antenna Cables
Connect Antenna Cables (2x RF + GPS)
1.
Connect the V-POL, H-POL, and GPS leads to the corresponding Ellipse ports.
2.
Tighten the connectors to a torque rating of 17 N-m (12.5 ft-lb) or finger-tight plus 1/8th turn
only. Using excessive force (over-torque) or the incorrect tools will damage the connectors on
the Ellipse and defeat the connector weatherproofing features.

Connect Ethernet Cable
The Redline outdoor Ethernet cable is terminated with a non-hooded RJ-45 connector.
This connects to the metal RJ-45 connector located on the wireless sector controller
enclosure. When connecting the outdoor Ethernet cable to the wireless sector controller,
ensure the RJ-45 plug is fully inserted and locked into the socket. Test the locking
function by applying a very light pulling pressure (two fingers) on the cable.
The Ethernet port is protected by a weatherproof gland. The Ethernet cable must be
threaded through the connector components and the connector and re-assembled. The
Ethernet port seal is water-resistant when assembled correctly. Additional
weatherproofing must be applied (see following pages).
