Installing and Connecting the RF Feed Cable
Prepare and install an RF feed coaxial cable as follows:
NOTE:
Nautel recommends that you perform the commissioning procedure in
Section 1.11,
“Commissioning”
, which connects the transmitter to a dummy load, before connecting the transmitter
to its antenna system.
When installing an antenna feedline for the VX3 to VX6, perform the following tasks:
1. Make sure you have completed the planning requirements described in Section 1.6, “RF Output
Requirements” before proceeding. Ensure that the RF feedline that will connect the transmitter to
the antenna system is suitably rated.
2. Connect the transmitter’s RF output to a dummy load, if available, during the commissioning
procedure's initial turn on. If the RF feed cable is not connected to a switching circuit that permits
antenna/dummy load selection, connect the RF feed cable for the dummy load to the transmitter's
RF output until transmitter commissioning is complete.
3. Mate the RF feed cable’s connector to the RF output connector on the rear of the amplifier
assembly (see VX3 to VX6 System Connections on page 1.10.9). Refer to the
Recommendations for Transmitter Site Preparation manual, included on the VX3 to VX6
Documentation USB.
4. Two (2) LP23 ferrites are provided as part of the transmitter’s ancillary kit and can be optionally
installed on the RF antenna feed.
WARNING! ENSURE THAT AC POWER IS NOT BEING APPLIED TO THE
TRANSMITTER DURING THIS PROCEDURE.
