Fiberplex Waveguide WGF-6 User Manual

General Installation Instructions
Do not unpack the waveguide assembly until you are ready to install it. This will prevent damage to the external threads on the bushing.
1. Prepare the shield room wall or the ground plane by boring mounting holes 1‐5/32" (1.156") diameter in the desired location. Any
adjacent holes should be no closer than 2".
2. Clean and de‐burr the area around the mounting holes to insure suitable electrical contact and a tight seal with the waveguide
mounting nuts.
3. Unpack the waveguide assembly taking care not to damage the threaded bushing.
4. Loosen the 1/4" cap screw which retains the plug in the bushing (approximately 2 turns).
5. Tap the end of the cap screw until the plug separates from the bushing.
6. Remove the cap screw and the washer and store in a safe place for future use.
7. Remove the plug from the bushing. The plug is fastened to one of the mounting nuts by a short cable to prevent damage to its
surface after installation and also to prevent injury during subsequent removal. It is not necessary to disconnect the cable from
either the mounting nut or the plug.
8. Remove the free mounting nut from the bushing.
9. Place the bushing through the mounting holes so that the cable is facing away from the mounting surface.
10. Replace the mounting nut on the opposite side of the mounting surface. Center the bushing by holding the nut and rotating the
bushing until there are equal threads on both ends.
11. At this point the waveguide is in place with the plug hanging by its cable on one side. If the installation appears to be acceptable,
tighten the mounting nut opposite from the plug end with a 1‐1/2" socket wrench to a maximum torque of 85 foot‐pounds or the
maximum torque that the wall can withstand without crushing.
12. Install the fiber optic cables by inserting the connectors one at a time through the center bore of the bushing, and then push the
cables into the grooves around the edges.
13. After all of the fiber optic cables have been installed (do not overfill the waveguide bores), insert the plug into the center bore
taking care not to damage the cables.
14. Press the plug firmly to lock it into place.
15. Install the cap screw and washer into the plug carefully so as to not push the plug out the other side.
16. Torque the cap screw to 6 foot‐pounds.
17. Plug may be removed for the addition or removal of fiber optic cables and then reinstalled as required.
DO NOT HEAT OR WELD THIS FILTER. DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
