 8–2  Final steps

RT installation

After the RT has been successfully commissioned, go to the ODU
and seal all outdoor IFL connections (including connections to the
lightning arrestor assembly). Use weatherproofing compound and
waterproof tape to protect against moisture penetration:

See figure 8-1.

1.

Starting at the connector end, wrap waterproof 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.
