11.6 Appendix F. Important Notice of Waterproofing Connector
11.6.1 Introduction
During antenna installation, it is important to ensure that once the cable is connected to the antenna, proper
waterproong of the connector must b e done with a self-amalgamating tape.
If you need any assistance, please contact Intellian Technical Support (support@intelliantech.com).
11.6.2 Outline of Taping
Self-amalgamating tape comes with a protective,
plastic peel-away layer that allows the tape to rolled
and shipped. To waterproof a connector, you need
to begin by peeling away a portion of this protective
plastic layer and then start wrapping the tape around
it.
11.6.3 Procedure
1. Connect the cable to the connector to be
fully secured.
CAUTION
• DO NOT over-tighten the connector, nuts, or screws when mounting the antenna to prevent any damage.
• DO NOT leave any cables loosen and non-xed, especially for those installed outside of the antenna.
2. Apply tape over the connetor.
It is important to wrap the cable onto itself and
the best practice is to wrap the tape over itself by
50%, meaning that once you wrap your first layer
your second layer should overlap over half of the
first layer, and so on. This ensures that you get a
strong bond between the different layers of tape
that properly adhere to one another.
3. Ensure that the entire RF connector is taped up as
shown the picture right.
