1. Look at the surge suppression bar in the cabinet and compare it with that shown in the following figure.
Use the label on each cable to plan which cables dangling from the inside of the Rox System cabinet
seal will connect to which connectors on the surge protection bar.
It is essential that the proper cables are connected to the proper surge suppressors. Each cable on the
Rox System cabinet seal is labeled on both ends, both the end that dangles inside the cabinet and the end
that is outside the cabinet. See Understanding the antenna installation process
on page 86.
If your deployment uses two antenna cables per sector, connect the cables to the connectors as follows:
WARNING
Power to the IP-RN 8000 must be turned off.
WARNING
The IP-RN 8000 must be properly grounded before antennas are
installed. Failure to properly ground the IP-RN 8000 can result in
danger to nearby persons and damage to equipment. See
Understanding surge protection and grounding
on page 33.
CAUTION
The IP-RN 8000 has a secondary surge suppression system. A
primary external surge suppression system is required to protect
nearby persons from danger should a surge occur and to protect
the IP-RN 8000 from damage. See Understanding surge
protection and grounding on page 33.
WARNING
If you connect cables to the wrong surge suppressors, damage to
equipment may occur and the equipment may not operate
correctly.
