4. Route the coax cable from the Electronics Enclosure to the floor trough. Do not cut the cable
yet, but note that excess will be removed after the true length is determined.
Caution: Cable must not be cut shorter than 30’.
5. Unpack the remaining system components including the Junction Box, lid, Impedance
Matching Board, PVC fittings and ferrite cores.
Wiring the F10, 2 Meter System
Perform the following to wire the F10, 2 meter system to the Impedance Matching Board.
1. Identify the “top” of the Junction Box (with the Carlon® logo facing up) and position the box
as shown. Remove the left, right and bottom knockouts from the Junction Box. Use a hammer
and a large screwdriver as shown.
Caution: Ensure the correct knockouts (3 sides shown) are removed for the 2 meter system (only 2 for 1
meter system). Since the 2 meter uses both TX1 and TX2 sets of input connectors, set up is different.
2. Apply the rubber o-ring over the threads of the ½” inch male fitting. Do NOT apply PVC
cement. Screw the fitting into the opening where the knockout was located until rubber o-ring
is compressed. Repeat for the other locations; tighten three (3) fittings in total.
3. Identify the colored antennas wires. Twist together loose strands of any frayed wire.
4. Select any four (4) small ferrite cores (CKP P/N 7221412).
5. Group the Yellow and Green wires together. Thread each individual lead through the same
opening in each of two (2) Ferrite cores. Repeat for the set of Red and Black wires as shown.
6. Using a utility knife
(shown at far right),
cut two (2) pieces of
conduit with six (6) rings
for each (approximately
2.54cm [1in] in length).
Cut a third piece approx.
7.5cm [3in] long. This
section connects at the L-
shaped fitting (see Step 10).
