Setting Up the SKF Multilog WVT
Mounting the External Antenna
To remotely mount the external antenna:
• Connect the external antenna plug connector to the N jack connector on the coaxial
cable selected (1 m, 3 m or 10 m in length).
WARNING! Make sure to use silicone grease that is rated for "electrical" or
"electronic" applications. Other types can be corrosive.
Avoid getting any silicone grease on the outside of the connector. If you do, scrub it
off with a dry tissue. The self-amalgamating tape will not stick to itself if it
becomes greasy.
Next, apply the self-amalgamating tape to the antenna connector to provide additional
protection from the environment. Follow the steps below.
• Peel the plastic coating from one side of the tape, starting at a corner.
• Starting at the downward side of the cable, hold the tape so its farthest edge is
about 40 mm (1.5 in.) from the connector.

 We recommend applying a tiny amount of silicone grease to the
inside of the antenna plug connector to cover the center pin.
Then, screw the plug connector into the cable connector. Use the
silicone grease for the other connections in this procedure.
