Installing the Link Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide

Sealing the Cable Connectors

Most problems associated with wireless outdoor installations are related to degrading performance due to corrosion of

the antenna cable and cable connectors. To avoid this type of problem, you must always seal the cable connectors that

are located outdoors using weatherproofing tape.

You are advised to seal the connectors only after you have verified optimal alignment of the antennas using the Link Test

as described in the documentation that comes with the radio unit. Doing so lets you adjust antenna placement and cable

routing without removing the tape.

To weatherproof the connectors:

1. Prepare the cable and connectors so that they are dry and free from dust, dirt and grease.

2. Attach the tip of the weatherproofing tape to the cable just above the connector. Holding the tape in its position,

stretch the tape and wind it half-overlapped around the cable and connectors to form a void-free joint. The degree of

stretch may vary in different sections of the joint, as long as the overlaps accomplish a void-free application.

3. To protect the weatherproofing stretch tape from the effects of Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation (for example, from direct

sunlight), protect the joint with two half-overlapped layers of any vinyl plastic electrical tape. Alternatively, apply

silicone sealer to protect the weatherproofing tape from sunlight, rain and other weather conditions.
