3.2.7. Antenna Cable Connector Assembly

The figures in this chapter illustrate the assembly procedure and do not show an actual
Node AM.
1. What is needed for the connector assembly?
a. Torque wrench.
b. (Adjustable) counter wrench
2. Join the connectors and turn the coupling nut
until the thread grips.
3. Push in the connector until it clicks.
4. Fasten the coupling nut hand-tight. Do not
turn the connector but the coupling nut only.
5. Retain the cable connector with the counter
wrench and fasten the coupling nut with the
torque wrench until the torque is applied
(torque wrench clicks).
For angled antenna connectors use your
hand to retain the cable connector and fasten
the coupling nut with the torque wrench.

the cable connector.
