4.4.2 Connecting the sensor cable bottom connector CAUTION All parts must be clean and dry prior to installation. CAUTION Do not use force. There is only one way to connect the cable to the sensor port. Always check the position of the positioning cam (B). 1. Install the sensor cable connector. Pay attention to the positioning cam on the modem connector (A) and the cable connector (B). 2. Fasten the sensor cable by turning the locking ring clockwise. CAUTION Do not fasten the cable too tight onto the connector. Use your thumb and index finger. M-Prime Pro Modem Series_4_25...
4.4.3 Connecting the antenna CAUTION All parts must be clean and dry prior to installation. 1. Mount the antenna. 2. Screw the SMA connector onto the modem. Do not use more torque than 5 lbs/0.57 Nm. CAUTION Do not use force. CAUTION If the antenna has both GNSS and cellular, connect the GPRS/LTE labeled connector to the blue labeled connector. 4.4.4 Connecting the GNSS antenna (future option - Prime PRO400 only) CAUTION All parts must be clean and dry prior to installation. 1. Mount the antenna. 2.
4.4.6 Connecting the sensor cable top connector (Prime PRO400/500 only) CAUTION All parts must be clean and dry prior to installation. CAUTION Do not use force.

5.3.5 Replacing the desiccant bag CAUTION Only use original parts. A new desiccant kit can be ordered from Royal Eijkelkamp. Refer to 6.1. CAUTION Work in a dry environment only, try to act quickly during the replacing of the desiccant bag! 1. Remove the old desiccant bag carefully and check whether this bag is excessively wet. If this is the case, this could be an indication of leakage. Please contact the Royal Eijkelkamp service department. CAUTION The new desiccant bag (A) must be taken out of its package at the last moment. It must be protected against all kinds of moisture before it is placed in the dry enclosure of the modem.
(Re-)placing the battery When the battery is empty, the battery must be replaced along with the desiccant bag. CAUTION We advise you to take the necessary ESD safety regulations and to apply new acid-free vaseline to the X-rings of the modem during assembly. Note When X-rings are damaged, contact Royal Eijkelkamp. Note Use original or recommended parts. Refer to 6.1. 1. Follow all procedures of 5.3.1 to 5.3.5. CAUTION Work according to your local ESD safety regulations. Avoid touching the printed circuit board (PCB).
