Wire the Switchplate
Follow these steps to connect the switchplate to
the antenna.
a. First dress the data and power cables from
the antenna. Strip back the insulation of each
wire approximately 1/4" (6 mm) and gently
twist each wire to ensure a good electrical
connection.
b. Connect the data cable from the antenna to
the terminal board on the back of the
switchplate (see Figure 18). Be sure to match
the wire colors with the terminal board label.
Tighten the terminal screws to secure all
wires in place.
IMPORTANT!
The diagram refers to wires by body color/
stripe color. For example, "Brown/White"
means the brown wire with the white stripe.
IMPORTANT!
Do not connect the data cable's drain wire
(shield) to anything. You can simply snip it
from the cable.
c. Connect the power cable from the antenna to
the switchplate's power output terminals (see
Figure 19).
