Many transceiver problems can be attributed to environmental conditions (including vibration), which can loosen cables
and permit moisture to penetrate the connectors. It is highly recommended that the connectors be sealed using a
technique similar to the one described below. This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections tight. For
your convenience, WaveCom has provided a 6” (15 cm) length of rubber self-amalgamating sealing tape to use on the
outdoor connection of the TRI5758.
Step 1
Use a 6” section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the TRI5758 end, stretch the tape and wrap it around the connector
as close as possible to the wall of the TRI5758. Overlap the tape by approximately one-half of its width so that it can
form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one-inch past the end of the connector.
Step 2
Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape (not provided). Start approximately one inch further down the cable, and
stretch the tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the TRI5758 end and without breaking the tape, wrap back down to
the cable end.
