Hughes Network Systems 24HX-001 Manual De Usuario

After the HT has been successfully commissioned, seal all outdoor
IFL connections (including connections to the lightning arrestor
assembly) with electrical tape and weatherproofing compound to
protect against moisture penetration:

See figure 8-1.

1.

Starting at the connector end, wrap electrical tape around
the connector and part of the cable.

2.

Cover the electrical tape with weatherproofing compound,
and work the compound into all joints and cracks where
water could enter.

3.

Smooth the weatherproofing compound, giving the
connection a tapered appearance, as shown in figure 8-1.

4.

Again starting at the connector end, wrap a second layer of
electrical tape around (on top of) the weatherproofing
compound.

5.

Press the tape into the weatherproofing compound.
The resulting seal should be tight and compact, with no
loose tape ends.
