3.6 Antenna Cable Connection
An N-type female connector is provided on the exterior bottom side of the RU cabinet for
connecting the antenna coaxial cable. The exterior N-type connector is on the surge side of a
lightning protector that is mounted within the enclosure. On the inside of the enclosure, the
protected side of the lightning protector is also equipped with an N-type female connector. A
coaxial jumper cable (included with the enclosure) is used for connecting the protected side of
the lightning protector to the ANTENNA port on the STM.
3.7 AC Power Wiring and Grounding
The RU outdoor cabinet is equipped with a stub cable for the AC power connections. The AC
power cable provides three wire leads (Load, Neutral, and Ground) that must be connected to a
120 or 240 VAC power source. The AC power cable exits the cabinet though a 3/4-inch NPT
threaded hole located on the bottom of the cabinet. The threaded hole accepts a standard 3/4-
inch AC conduit fitting. A 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch reducer is also included if 1/2-inch conduit is
preferred over 3/4-inch conduit.
From the exit point in the bottom of the cabinet, the AC power cable must be routed through
conduit to an external AC junction box (not provided) where it can be connected to the AC
power wiring. The junction box should be located within two feet of the cabinet and should be
equipped with a 120 VAC GFCI outlet for powering test equipment and/or power tools. If AC
power spikes are likely to occur, the junction box should also include a surge protector to
protect the equipment from damage.
Three wire nuts are included with the cabinet for completing the AC power wiring connections.
The junction box wiring should be connected to the AC power source through a 20 Amp breaker
box (not provided). All AC power wiring should be run within conduit. A grounding lug is
provided on the underside of the enclosure for connecting a separate grounding wire directly to
the cabinet.
3.8 Ventilation
Vent openings are provided in the bottom of the RU cabinet to permit air exchange for cooling.
Air enters the cabinet through an opening in the front/bottom side of the cabinet A Filter
removes dirt particles so that only clean air enters the enclosure. Both the STM and LPA have
cooling fans. The STM has a rear mounted fan that pulls air through the module and exhausts it
toward the rear of the enclosure. The LPA has a fan on the front that draws air into the module
and exhausts it toward the rear of the enclosure. The heated air exits through an opening in the
rear/bottom side of the enclosure.
3.9 User Interface
The RU cabinet user interface consists of the various connectors, fittings, mounting slots, and
switches that are provided on both the interior and exterior of the enclosure. The user interface
points are indicated in Figure 2-4 and described in Table 2-2.
