Connecting the Antenna (single-bay)

Connect the antenna
bay.

The antenna bay is not pressurized. The feed system up to the bay may be

pressurized.
a. Provide a gas stop between the tower transmission line and the antenna

input if necessary.

b. Connect the tower DIN transmission cable to the input of the antenna bay

cable (

Figure 17

). Tighten in accordance with

Table 1

on page 1.

Figure 17. Single bay antenna

connection

c. Loop or drape any excess cable and secure it to the pipe, using tie-wraps

(

) or customer-supplied clamps, to prevent wind damage to the cables and

to ensure the weight of the cable is not carried by the antenna input.

NOTE

The Model 6822 bay does not require pressurization or purging.

Installation of your Model 6822 single-bay is now complete. Please proceed to

Startup
