Using coaxial cable, connect the antenna base to the transmitter’s remote antenna connector
(located at top right as you face the transmitter display). Antenna cable shield is bonded to
earth ground via either the transmitter earth ground connection and/or by the lightning arrestor
earth ground connection. The lightning arrestor must be bonded to earth ground in order to
function properly. Tighten cables by hand only; do not use tools or you could overtighten.

If the coax cable is to enter a building, then the lightning arrestor should be mounted as close
as possible to where the lead-in wire enters the building. The lightning arrestor sold by
Honeywell features a bulkhead N-Female connector with a rubber “O”-ring seal which can be
used for mounting through an enclosure wall. The lightning arrestor can also be mounted
using the included stainless steel mounting bracket. Both connector ports of the lightning
arrestor provide equal protection no matter which way it is installed. Either port can face the
antenna and either port can face the Transmitter.
5
Drill a hole in the building's wall as close as possible to the equipment to which you will
connect the lead-in cable.
CAUTION
There may be wires in the wall. Before drilling check that the area is clear of any
obstructions or other hazards.
6
Pull the cable through the hole and form a drip loop on the outside close to where the cable
enters the building. The drip loop should have a radius of at least 12 inches (30 cm).

use tools or you could overtighten.
