Attaching the sector’s test equipment
This procedure explains how to attach test equipment to the sector’s transmit antenna jumper cable exiting
the cabinet.
Required tools
The following tools are used if the antenna jumper cables exiting the cabinet used standard N-type
connectors to attach to external equipment. If you assembled your own jumper cables using different
connectors, you need appropriate tools.
• 13/16 inch open ended wrench
• Torque wrench with 13/16 inch open ended bit
• 30 dB attenuator pad with connector appropriate for antenna jumper cable rated for a maximum of 50
watts
• Power splitter to split the transmit signal for use by the power meter and the AT, with appropriate cables
and connector adapters
• Power meter with connector appropriate for coupler
• 1xEV-DO access terminal (AT)
Warnings
WARNING
You must have disabled the sector before continuing. Failure to
disable the sectors can result in EMI radiation that could cause
injury and could cause interference with other devices.
WARNING
Antenna cables emit radio frequency energy. Exposure to radio
frequency energy can cause burns or other health problems. Take
all appropriate precautions to avoid risk and danger.
WARNING
Do not touch or disconnect antennas when there is any chance of
a lightning strike. Injury or death can occur if lightning strikes an
antenna during installation.
