2.3.3 Protecting ODU Connections Use appropriate sealing material to protect the connection against moisture and
humidity. Use removable sealing material, such as a tar seal, to enable future
access to the connector.
NOTE
Use high quality sealing material such as Scotch® 130C Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape from 3M to
ensure IP-67 compliant protection against dust and water.
Loop & tie the cable near the unit for strain relief and for routing water away from
the unit: use additional cable strips to route the cable such that water can
accumulate on the cable bends, away from the unit.
2.3.4 Connecting the Grounding and Antenna Cables The Grounding screw (marked ) is located on the bottom panel of the outdoor
unit (in the new ODU it is located on the backside of the unit). The Antenna RF
connector (marked ) is located on the top panel of the AU-E-ODU/SU-E-ODU
(in the new 0.9 GHz AU-E-ODU it is located on the side).
To connect the grounding cable:
1 Connect one end of a grounding cable to the grounding terminal and tighten
the grounding screw firmly.
2 Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a good ground (earth)
connection.
To connect the RF cable (units with external antenna):
1 Connect one end of the coaxial RF cable to the RF connector on the unit.
2 Connect the other end of the RF cable to the antenna.
3 The RF connectors should be properly sealed to protect against rain and
moisture.
