obr3650_ml_01_sdApproved: C.W.2-62.2.1 Water Proof the ConnectionWrapping the antenna connection with sealing tape keeps the connection tight and protects against moisture.To water proof the connection follow these steps:Step 1 Use a section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the OBR3650 end, stretch the tape and wrap it around theconnector as close as possible to the body of the OBR3650. Overlap the tape by approximately one-half ofits width so that it can form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one-inch past the endof the connector.Figure 2-6 Apply Rubber Sealing TapeStep 2 Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape. Start approximately one inch further down the cable, and stretchthe tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the OBR3650 end, then without breaking the tape, wrap backdown to the cable end.Figure 2-7 Water Proofed Connection

Use two inline surge suppressors, one for all OBR3650 cablefeed installations at the base of the tower and another for the first surge suppressor and the WES800. Connect the shield of the cablefeed to the ground lug of the surge suppressor. The purpose of the surge suppressor is to shunt to ground any over voltage [>60 V] transients that may be induced on the CAT5E cablefeed via lightning or other high voltages.Figure 2-12 Base Station Grounding - building ground different than tower ground
