External antenna connection
To enable long-range wireless connection to
the SCADA control center, it will be
necessary for the user to fit an appropriate
external antenna. The antenna cable is
passed through a cable gland at the rear of
the RCU enclosure (item D in Figure 3 on
page 10) and connected to the user's radio
equipment. The cable gland must be
tightened to clamp the cable. It may be
desirable to fit an antenna surge arrestor
inside the RCU enclosure. The surge arrester
must be grounded to the 6 mm ground stud
inside the RCU enclosure.
