Procedure
Step
5
1 Ensure that all three (3) main DC breakers in the Power Cabinet are "OFF."
2 Route the DC conduit from the I/O area of the Power Cabinet to the I/O area of the RF Cabinet. See
Figure 5-1 for suggested location.
NOTE
This step is omitted if the DC conduit is already installed through the concrete pad.
3 Route the three (3) RED +27V feed power cables through the conduit and to the DC power connector
in each cabinet through the rubber boot (see Figure 5-6) in the floor of the I/O area.
NOTE
The rubber boot is sized to seal either a #2/0 AWG or #4/0 AWG power cable, if a different sized cable
is used other means may be required to ensure a good seal. A tie wrap or hose clamp must be used to
ensure a good seal around the cables at the boot.
4 Route the three (3) BLACK –27V feed power cables through the conduit and to the DC power
connector in each cabinet through the rubber boot (see Figure 5-6) in the floor of the I/O area.
NOTE
The rubber boot is sized to seal either a #2/0 AWG or #4/0 AWG power cable, if a different sized cable
is used other means may be required to ensure a good seal. A tie wrap or hose clamp must be used to
ensure a good seal around the cables at the boot.
5 At the RF Cabinet end of each DC power cable, strip insulation equal to the length of the crimping lug
barrel, plus an additional 5 mm (0.2").
! CAUTION
Route the cables through the rubber boot BEFORE crimping lug onto wire or damage to the boot can
occur.
6 Trim the top (tapered end) of the cable grommet to allow the grommet to slide over the cable. Ensure
that the grommet fits firmly around the cable.
