1. Insert the center bullet and push it in until it is fully seated.

2. Connect the coaxial input in a straight line and push carefully on the cen-

ter conductor to close.



Note:

The swivel flange on the load makes connection independent

of the orientation of the fixed flange on the coaxial input outer conductor.

3. Insert the bolt sets and tighten evenly all around to transmission line

manufacturer’s recommended torque. Use all of the bolts.

WARNING

Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the

transmission line while RF power is being applied.

Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
