RT installation
Follow these steps to install the mechanical attenuator:
1. Locate the circular waveguide on the rear of the antenna.
See figure 6-20.
2. Insert the mechanical attenuator in the circular waveguide,
as shown in figure 6-20.
Important: Do not fully insert the mechanical attenuator.
Ensure that part of the attenuator is exposed so it can be
removed if necessary.

CAUTION
Do not allow dirt, dust, moisture, or other
contaminants to enter the waveguide.
If you have installed an attenuator, make a note of its size (for
example, 20 dB). You will need this information when you
commission the RT.
