In most installations, the transient eliminator mounts near the point at which the antenna lead enters the facility.
GPS inline amplifier, a 90 v L1 Transient Eliminator, and an adapter for connectivity. Antenna Coaxial Cables Symmetricom provides several low-loss cable types, as well as LMR-400 with N-type connectors on both ends. Table C-8 lists the optional antenna coaxial cables...
Protection, on page 400, and gather the necessary tools and materials described. Antenna Connection Overview The SSU-2000 chassis has two antenna connections located on the rear panel. The antenna connections are made via isolated TNC connectors J6 and J7, labeled ANTENNA-A and ANTENNA-B, respectively. The connectors are DC isolated and AC bypassed to frame ground.
Page 400
Do not inside equipment rack ground. Doing so can defeat the protection afforded by the transient eliminator. Symmetricom makes no recommendation as to whether to install transient eliminators. Symmetricom can provide suitable transient connectors as an option. Use #10 AWG (minimum) copper ground wire.
Caution: To avoid damage to the GPS antenna, do not place the antenna where high-power radio signals are beamed directly at the unit. Such signals can damage the preamplifier of the GPS antenna. 12713020-002-2 Revision D – April 2004 SSU-2000 User’s Guide 401...

Page 405
Antennas Installing Antennas Recommendation: Symmetricom does not recommend soldered connections for grounding purposes. All grounding connections should be secured with mechanical clamp connectors. 5. Wrap the connectors with weatherproof tape for added protection. 6. Verify that the antenna coaxial cable center conductor is not shorted to the shield of the cable.
Antennas Optional Accessories Connecting the GPS Antenna Before connecting the GPS antenna to the SSU-2000, see GPS Antenna Installation Procedures, on page 401. Then, follow the instructions below. 1. Before connecting the antenna coaxial cable to the radio receiver, test the DC resistance between the center conductor and the shield using an ohmmeter.
