68 

 

Installation or maintenance of the 1.2 GHz SHO GS7000 Node requires opening the 
housing to access the internal modules. 

Proper housing closure is important to maintaining the node in good working 
condition. Proper closure ensures a good seal against the environment, protecting 
the internal modules. 

 

Open the housing as follows. 
1  Remove the bolts securing the lid to the base. 
2  Carefully open the lid to allow access to the inside of the housing. 
3  Inspect gaskets on the cover flange and on the test port plugs. 
4  Replace any gaskets showing signs of wear (cracked, twisted, pinched, or dry) 

with new, silicon-lubricated gaskets. 

 

Close the housing as follows. 
1  Ensure any worn gaskets are replaced, and the gaskets are clean and in the 

correct position. 

2  Carefully close the lid. 

 

CAUTION: 
Use caution when closing housing. Improper closing may result in the unit 
not being sealed from the environment. 

3  For strand-mounted housings, pull the lid away from the base and remove the 

slack from the hinge before rotating the lid up toward the base. 

4  Ensure no cables are pinched between lid and base. 
5  Secure lid to base with bolts. Tighten from 5 to 12 ft-lbs (6.8 to 16.3 Nm) in the 

sequence shown in the following illustration. Repeat the sequence twice, ending 
with the final torque specification.
