POST INSTALLATION
This section provides the necessary information for successful post-installation
verification and test recommendations for the WSS 4G System. This process is
intended to be a one-time process for the initial installation of the system. This process
may need to be repeated only if the WSS 4G System fails, if components of the system
are replaced, or if the aircraft undergoes significant modification that may have an
impact to system operation.
6.1
Installation Verification
After successful installation of the WSS 4G system is complete, verification of the
installation and commissioning of the system should take place. The following tables
provide an overview of the recommended steps to accomplish this verification.
Post-installation verification overview. Reference Section 6.1.1 for additional
instructions:
Step
Process
1
Coaxial Cable
verification
Verification of RF coaxial cable installation to eliminate potential
issues from cable runs and connector terminations. This is
recommended but not mandatory.
2
Visual
inspection
Inspect that all components have been installed and secured
and that all connectors are in place and tight

6.1.1.2
RF Coaxial Cable Verification
Once the installation of system cabling is complete and have been terminated, it is
recommended that all coaxial cables are tested to confirm no cable shorts, breaks or
connector issues have occurred. WSS strongly recommends coax cables be tested
post-installation.
To facilitate these tests a capacitance measuring meter should be utilized.
1.
Identify the Coaxial cable type and the capacitance per foot indicated within the
coaxial cable specification.
2.
Calculate the expected total capacitance for the length of coaxial cable installed.
3.
Disconnect the coaxial cable from the unit and the applicable antenna.
