October 23, 2003

The RFS has ten cable connectors on the bottom of the unit. Eight are antenna connections, with

the connectors alternately numbered from right to left as shown in Figure 33. The two connectors

in the middle are for antenna calibration and data/DC power connections. Install surge protectors

on nine (9) of the RFS connectors – the eight antenna connectors and the calibration connector.

The surge protectors must be installed directly to the RFS to provide protection for the antenna

elements. Torque the surge protectors to 20-24 inch-pounds.
