Model 5054 Cable Setup for an Outdoor Antenna

The following figure shows an overview of the cable setup for the outdoor antenna. When the 5054 is not mounted close to where the antenna cable enters the building (where the surge arrestor must be mounted), an additional cable between the 5054 and the surge arrestor is required, plus a female-female converter connector. If the 5054 is mounted close to the surge arrestor, the 5054 can be connected directly to the surge arrestor.

connect to N-type male connector pigtail extending from 5054 unit

Note: The exception to the rule is the indoor 5054 RSU when the window antenna is installed in an indoor location. This installation does not require the use of a surge arrestor. The antenna can be connected directly to the 5054.

CAUTION! The 5054 hardware, the surge arrestor, and the antenna mast must be connected to the same grounding system.
