Connecting a Thin-Net Segment to an EPIM-C

To connect a thin-net segment to an EPIM-C:

1.

Set the Internal Termination Switch (Figure 3-14), located above the
port (when the EPIM has been inserted into the EMM-E6) and
labeled TERM to:

• the ON position (

) to internally terminate the thin-net segment at

the port.

• the OFF position (

) if you do not want the thin-net segment to

internally terminate at the port.

2.

If the Internal Termination Switch is in the On position, connect the
thin-net segment directly to the BNC port.

3.

If the Internal Termination switch is in the Off position:

a.

Attach a BNC T-connector to the BNC port on the module.

b. Attach the thin-net segment to one (1) of the female connectors on

the T-connector.

c. Attach another thin-coaxial segment or a terminator to the other

female connector on the T-connector.

Failure to terminate each T-connector segment may result in
improper segment operation. Place a terminator on any open
female connection on the T-connector.

!

CAUTION

Connecting a thin-net segment to earth ground at more than
one point could produce dangerous ground currents.
