2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 Unpacking the Unit Carefully remove the equipment from its packing material and set it on a solid surface, such as a table or desk. If it appears damaged in any way, notify the carrier, and keep all packing materials for inspection by the carrier’s agent. 2.2 Mounting the Unit 2.2.
2.2.2 Mounting the Antenna Mount the antenna according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ☛ The TR2126SE is intended for use with flat planar arrays and dipole/parabolic reflectors. Please consult table 2.2B for further information. ☛ Table 2.2B: Antenna List Transceiver Power (Watts) 0.316 0.316 0.316 0.
2.3 Connection to the Antenna Connect the TR2126SE to the Antenna via the N-Connector DIAGRAM 2.3A: CONNECTION TO THE ANTENNA WaveCom Electronics Inc TR2126SE Manual; ml_tr2126se_04 (May 2003) Approved: C.H.
2.4 Connection to the Power Inserter and Cable Modem Connect the TR2126SE F-Connector to the power inserter, located indoors with the cable modem. Connect the power inserter to the Cable Modem. If the TR2126SE is equipped with the optional self install feature, insure that the power inserter is connected to the Cable Modem, only after the antenna is aligned.
2.5 Waterproofing Connections 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 to seal the connectors using a technique similar to the one described below. This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections tight.
STEP 3 When done, the connection should be tightly wrapped with tape, with a good seal to the cable. DIAGRAM 2.5C: WATERPROOFING CONNECTION – STEP 3 WaveCom Electronics Inc TR2126SE Manual; ml_tr2126se_04 (May 2003) Approved: C.H.
3.0 TUNING THE ANTENNA Note: This section applies only to TR2126SE transceivers fitted with the optional self-install feature. 3.1 Preparation for Tuning Before tuning the antenna insure that the Cable Modem is not connected to the power inserter. The Cable Modem signal will prevent the signal strength indicator from responding to very weak receive signals. 3.2 Signal Strength and Alignment The TR2126SE is equipped with an audible alignment aid that simplifies the setup process.
