Wire the Antenna Cables
Follow these steps to connect the antenna to the
control unit and the modem.
NOTE: A system wiring diagram is provided in
Appendix A on page 27.
a. First dress the data and power cables from
the antenna. Strip back the insulation of each
wire approximately 1/4" (6 mm) and gently
twist each wire to ensure a good electrical
connection.
b. Find the terminal strip connector in the
kitpack. Connect the antenna data cable to
the terminal strip connector as shown in
Figure 25.
c. Connect the power cable from the antenna to
the terminal strip connector as shown in
Figure 25.
d. Plug the terminal strip connector into the rear
panel of the control unit (see Figure 26).
e. Connect the RF coax cable labeled “RX”
(connected to the antenna’s MRx jack) to the
“Rx RF” jack on the back of the modem (see
Figure 27).
f. Connect the RF coax cable labeled “TX”
(connected to the antenna’s MTx jack) to the
“Tx RF” jack on the back of the modem.
