Route and Secure the Cables
1.
Remove the four M4 screws securing the
cable brackets to the inside rim of the
). Remove and save
the cable brackets.
2.
Route the data/power (F-type connector end)
(see
) and RF cables belowdecks
through the cable access hole. Leave an
adequate service loop, approximately 8"
(20 cm) of slack, in the cables for easy
serviceability. Later, you will connect the
data/power cable to the MCU and the RF
cable(s) to the receiver(s).
3.
Route the N-type connector end of the data/
power cable (see
) through the
baseplate’s bottom cable access hole. Connect
the data/power cable to the center connector
on the cable PCB (see
4.
Route the RF cable(s) through the baseplate’s
bottom cable access hole. Using a 9/16"
wrench, connect the RF cable(s) to the cable
PCB (see
). If you need to connect
only one RF cable, connect the cable to the
RF1 connector. Connect any additional RF
cables to the RF2, RF3, and RF4 connectors.
See
to determine the
number of RF cables required.
TIP:
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 the cables later.
Be sure to properly align the data/power
cable with the PCB connector before
tightening. Connecting the cable at an angle
may damage the cable’s center tines.
