Connecting the transmit
and receive cables
4. Route the Rx cable (marked with red electrical tape) over the
Az/El mount assembly, down behind the reflector, and along
the feed support arms to the LNB, in a configuration similar
to that shown in Figure 23 above.
Note: Do not exceed the minimum bending radius specified
by the cable manufacturer.
5. Leave a 10-foot service loop secured to the mast, Az/El
mount assembly, or reflector bracket.
Note:
1. Do not leave the service loop on the roof or other mounting
surface.
2. Do not block access to the adjustment nuts on the Az/El
mount assembly.
6. Coil the extra cable, leave a drip loop, and secure the Rx
cable with cable ties.
This section explains how to connect the Tx and Rx cables to the
radio assembly at the antenna.
Note: You should secure all outdoor connections with
weatherproofing tape as shown in Figure 24. However,
because the antenna pointing procedure requires that you
disconnect the cables, you should wait until the pointing
process is complete before weatherproofing the connections.
