Appendix A:
Terminating LMR-240 Cable
These instructions explain how to terminate the supplied
LMR-240 coax cable with an EZ-240-TM-X TNC connector
using the tools from the LMR-240 termination tool kit (KVH
part no. 72-0949). For more detailed instructions, refer to
the Times Microwave website: www.timesmicrowave.com.
1. Using angle cutters, cut the cable evenly.

2. Since cutting the cable can deform the end, gently
round the end of the cable. Also make sure the center
conductor is centered within the cable.

4. Insert the end of the cable into the #1 end of the 
CST-240 stripping tool. Depress the cutting blade
using your thumb, then rotate the tool clockwise
around the cable until the tool turns easily. The end of
the cable should now be stripped to expose the center
conductor.

Note: Carefully remove any residual plastic from the center
conductor, if necessary.
