Installing Cables to Overhead Antennas
Cables should be separated into pairs for A and B side as instructed in Installing
Transmitter Cables on page 32.
1 Pull A or B side cables, one each R20509-G2 and Q13578-01, back through hole on
antenna bracket T20211-01 onto top of unit.
2 Thread one end of plastic conduit Q13592-02 onto large threaded end of connector Q13591-01
until plastic conduit bottoms out. See Figure 17.
3 Discarding ferrule, feed pair of cables through female thread locking nut of Q13591-01
connector from non-threading side, and through hole on antenna bracket. Push other end of
plastic conduit over female thread port on connection box.
4 Feed cables through Q13591-01 connector and plastic conduit into antenna connection box.
Note: Feed sufficient length of Q13578-01 cable to exit antenna connection box and reach
connector J1 on high frequency antenna.
5 Push small male thread side of connector through hole in antenna bracket, and secure
connector with connector nut from other side of bracket (ferrule not needed).
Note: Be sure that flats of hex connector Q13591-01 are straight up and down on sides, or top
cover will not fit over at installation.
6 If using brass connector Q13591-01, cover exposed brass with black vinyl electric tape.
7 In antenna assembly connection box, connect P1 on cable R20509-G2 to J1 on low frequency
antenna board.
8 Allow co-ax cable Q13578-01 to exit antenna connection box through box cover opening, and
connect P1 on co-ax cable to J1 on high frequency antenna using co-axial cable tool Q13628-
01 found in the ASC TRIND tool kit. Do not overtighten co-axial cable.
Note: Do not replace connection box cover at this time.
