Install Cables Between the RFS & BTS

inside out. Ensure that the proper cable is connected to the proper antenna (Figure 35). Torque
the RF cable connectors to 20-24 inch-pounds.

Install Grounding Kit on Cables
Install grounding kit wire connections on the eight (8) RFS cables and the one (1) CAL cable per
the instruction sheet that comes with the grounding kit. Install the grounding wire in a position
on the cable so that it can be attached to the ground buss bar that is mounted close to the RFS.
More than one ground buss bar may be installed in the system, depending on the length of the
cable run. Reference the Regulatory Information in Chapter 1, Page 8.
