Solder Method: Soft solder contact to cable center conductor. Do not get any solder on
outside surface of contact. Avoid excessive heat to prevent swelling of dielectric.
Step 3 Install cable assembly into body assembly so inner ferrule portion slides under
braid, Push cable assembly forward until contact snaps into place in insulator. Slide
outer ferrule over braid and up against connector body. Crimp outer ferrule using Die Set
Cavity specified in table above.

D. Surge Suppressor:
Install the Surge Suppressor in the coaxial transmission line outside to help keep surges
from entering the building. We recommend installing it in a user provided weather tight
enclosure or seal it from moisture with user provided sealant or weather sealing tape such
as self-fusing tape.
E. Grounding:
Attach a good earth ground to the surge suppressor and the antenna mounting bracket(s).
The grounding of the antenna and surge suppressor is for your safety and the safety of
your equipment and should not be neglected.
