Caution:
Improper electrical grounding can result in excessive electromagnetic interference or
electrical discharge.
This equipment must be permanently earthed for protection and functional
purposes. To make a protective earth connection, use the grounding point located on
the ODU using a minimum amount of 16AWG grounding cable or according to local
electrical code.
Siklu will not be held responsible for any malfunction or damage in the event that the
ODU is not properly grounded.

Preparing the Cables
Before inserting a cable connector into the ODU, you must first enclose the cable
connector in a protective All-Weather shell. Three sets of All-Weather shells are
provided with the ODU for the ODU interfaces.
The provided protective All-Weather Shells fit cables from 3.5mm to 9.0mm diameter.
1. Thread the cable and tight the shell to the ODU firmly by hand (do not use tools).
2. .Insert the rubber gasket snugly and tight the connector lock
3. When removing the All-Weather Shell, unlock the gland first before removing the
shell.
