NSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 2-9.
Care shall be exercised in cable installation. Install the cables using the most
direct route and secure with clamps and ties. Avoid all sharp bends.
Cable connectors used in outdoors application shall be sealed to avoid leakage,
particularly, N-type connectors. Moisture can seep into junctions at the plug end
of the connector, between the fixed and movable parts, and where the cable
connects to the connector. Signal attenuation and possible loss of signal can occur
in the presence of moisture. All cable junctions shall be sealed with a self-
amalgamating tape, such as 3M, Type 23 Scotch Self-Amalgamating tape, or
equivalent, including military style (MS) connectors.
WARNING
The Downconverter RF input connector is wired to supply DC voltage to an
LNA. This voltage is capable of damaging any test equipment connected to
the connector. Do not connect test equipment to this connector without a
coaxial DC block between the connector and the test equipment.
