3.3.4 1:1 Redundant Plate Installation
A typical 1:1 redundant plate is shown below. Refer to Section 3.2.1 for included parts.
To install the 1:1 redundant plate:
1. Mount the 1:1 redundant plate to the antenna.
Note: The type of mounting is determined by the brand of antenna on which the
equipment will be installed.
2. Remove the plastic cover from the RF IN connector of the redundant plate.
CAUTION
After removing the protective cover, ensure that no foreign material
or moisture enters the 1:1 redundant plate’s waveguide.
3. Install the appropriate gasket on the RF IN connector of the redundant plate:
a.
If the LNA has a groove, and the antenna flange does not, the thin gasket
should be used.
b. If both the LNA and the antenna flange have grooves, the thick gasket should
be used.
