j.
Make sure the RF cable is hand-tightened all
the way into the connector. Then tighten it
with a 7/16" torque wrench to 20 in-lbs, or a
7/16" wrench for 1/4 turn.
k. Wipe off any excess grease from the outside
of the connector.
l.
Repeat steps h-k to connect any additional RF
cables to the antenna's RF2, RF3, and RF4
connectors. Later, you will connect RF1 to the
TV-Hub and any other RF cable(s) to a
grounding block and receiver(s).
m. Seal the RF cable connections with silicone
sealant or equivalent.
n. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, reinstall the
cable cover to the antenna and secure it in
place with the six #6-32 captive screws and
washers (see Figure 17).
o. Secure the cables near the antenna connectors
to relieve stress (such as the example in
Figure 18). The cable cover is designed for
aesthetics only – it does not provide any
support for the cables and may become
damaged if cables are not properly strain-
relieved.
p. Weatherproof and seal the cable access hole
as required.
