Connecting the transmit and receive cables

Transmit cable

This section explains how to connect the transmit and receive cables to the radio assembly.

Connect the transmit cable to the transmitter as follows:

1.From inside the building, disconnect the IDU power supply.

2.Go outside and connect the transmit cable (marked with blue electrical tape) to the transmitter connector marked IFL. Figure 41 shows the transmit connector location for the J-type radio assembly, and Figure 42 shows the connector location for the cradle-type radio assembly. In both cases the connector is a female F connector.

CAUTION

Coaxial connectors and cable can corrode if exposed to moisture. Use only compression type connectors, and weatherproof them with dielectric grease and weatherproof tape.

3.Use a 7/16-inch torque wrench to tighten the connector to 20 inch-lb.
