Waterproofing Connections - Wavecom TR2126SE Installation And Operation Manual

2.5 Waterproofing Connections

Many transceiver problems can be attributed to environmental conditions (including vibration), which can
loosen cables and permit moisture to penetrate the connectors. It is highly recommended to seal the
connectors using a technique similar to the one described below. This will provide moisture protection and
keep the connections tight. For your convenience, WaveCom has provided two 6 inch lengths of rubber self-
amalgamating sealing tape to use on the two connections of the TR2126SE. The diagrams below show the N
connector, but the F connector also should be sealed using the same technique.
STEP 1
Use one 6" section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the TR2126SE end, stretch the tape and wrap it around
the connector as close as possible to the wall of the TR2126SE. Overlap the tape by approximately one-half
of it's width so that it can form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one inch past the end
of the connector.
STEP 2
Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape (not provided). Start approximately one inch further down the
cable, and stretch the tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the TR2126SE end and without breaking the
tape, wrap back down to the cable end.
