Weatherproofing the Subscriber Station

Most outdoor subscriber station, antenna and cable problems are caused by coaxial cable connections loosened by
vibration, allowing moisture to penetrate the connector interface. Siemens strongly recommends weatherproofing
all outdoor cable connections to prevent the ingress of water and help secure connections.
Use cold shrink tubing or self-amalgamating tape, as well as UV-resistant tape and electrical insulation putty to
seal connections.
IMPORTANT!
Warranty is void if the subscriber station is assembled without waterproof sealing or if the sealing is
removed from the connections.
IMPORTANT!
The method of weatherproofing described in this section must be completed on all external
connections. If surge arrestors are used, all associated connections and arrestors must be completely
wrapped with splicing tape or self-amalgamating tape.

Weatherproofing a Cable

To weatherproof a cable, do the following:
IMPORTANT!
PVC tape, silicon sealant and glue are not recommended for weatherproofing, as these materials are
difficult to apply accurately and are difficult to remove.
1.
Spray the cable end and connector with a cleaner and de-greaser, making sure to remove any excess with a
clean lint-free cloth.
