Connecting the Cables to the Antenna
This section describes how to connect the coaxial RF cables to the antenna, and how
to route the cables inside the vehicle to the ACU location.
This procedure assumes the antenna was installed correctly, with TNC connectors
facing the intended point of entry into the vehicle - see Routing Cables Into the
Vehicle, on page 30).
Refer to Connecting the System Components, on page 34, for specific details about
system cable connections.
To connect the cables to the antenna:
1. Connect the cables to the antenna a described in Connecting the System
Components, on page 34.
For the Dual Pol antenna version installation, label both sides of each cable with
the associated connector Ctrl, LB, HB for easy identification inside the vehicle.
Do not overtighten the antenna connections.
