[. . . ] Longer lag screws may be required if substantial shimming is needed for leveling. (See Figure 4-4. ) Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Figure 4-4 Step 10 Check that the antenna is still level, adjust if necessary. CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT RADOME BASE HAS NOT BEEN TORQUED OR DEFORMED BY THE INSTALLATION TO THE VEHICLE. IF THE RADOME BASE IS DEFORMED, OPERATION OF THE ANTENNA PEDESTAL WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. M-01334, Rev. B Page 20 Step 11 Apply more sealant at each bolt and/or rivet head to prevent leakage through the mounting holes (See Figure 4-5). Figure 4-5 Step 12 After the hardware has been tightened, generously weatherproof the hardware and penetration points with sealant. Cut and remove the shipping tie that locks the antenna in place for shipping (see Figure 4-6). Failure to remove this tie may result in damage to the antenna motors and drive electronics. Step 13 Figure 4-6 M-01334, Rev. Cable Diagram Step 1 Attach the Antenna Control cable circular connector to the antenna. Be sure to rotate the plug clockwise until the connector is completely seated. Connect the two RF cables, RF1 and RF2 and slide weather bolt over the connections. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN ERROR MESSAGE "CODE 10: LNBFV" ON SCREEN. Step 2 Route the RF coax cable and the antenna control cable down through the roof to the receiver. A 3/4-inch hole must be drilled in order to pass the cables down through the roof. M-01334, Rev. B Page 22 Step 3 After the cables are routed, pot the cables with silicone sealant, around the hole. The gray "Wago" connector has two mounting ears and may be mounted in any location that is convenient. Make sure the connection is on the wire and not on the wire insulation. Cut off the silver colored shield wire, it is not used. Wiring Aid Tool M-01334, Rev. ACU Power Connection Wiring 4. 4 ACU Power Connection Refer once again to Figure 4-11. As shown in this drawing there are two 16 gage wires, one red and one black, these wires will connect to a 12-volt DC power source. The red 16-gauge wire will connect to positive 12 volts and the black 16-gauge wire will connect to ground. It is not necessary to install a fuse in-line with this connection, the DBS-4500 electronics is designed with an integrated resetable fuse. NOTE: It is extremely important that the 12 Volt DC supply to the DBS-4500 antenna system is a clean, continuous source, that does not fluctuate. To insure a proper power source, Datron recommends the use of an AC to DC power supply rated for a minimum of 4 amps at 12 volts. If you do not have a source for this supply, contact Datron and ask for part number PSA-124P. M-01334, Rev.
