18 Appendix 3
– Aerials and Cables
18.1 Mains Cables, Switches and Fuses
No external mains cables, switches or fuses are supplied with the RLC. It is the responsibility of
the owner/installer to ensure that the installation is carried out in such a manner as to ensure the
safety of the installation and that it meets all of the relevant local regulations.
18.2 Cell Aerial
The RLC is supplied with a Cell aerial which must be attached to the socket on top or base of the
unit (Enclosure V1) or remotely mounted (Enclosure V2 onwards).
For the top-mounted stub aerial, ensure that it is a secure fit but do not over-tighten.
The remote Cell aerial is supplied with suitable coax cable fitted with an SMA connector.
An aerial extension cable may be used but, to avoid undue cable losses, keep the cable as short
as possible (total max 10m).
18.3 VHF Aerial
The RLC is not supplied with any of the VHF aerial components required.
Inventory
For installations with good signal strength a simple mag-mount whip
antenna (example upper right: Aviator-2 WSM-225) maybe all that is
required.
It is recommended that a higher gain antenna is used. A pole mounted
air-band aerial (example lower right: Diamond D-777).
This should be specified and installed by an experienced aerial
installer.
You are strongly recommended to fit a Static Surge Protector into the
down-feed (example: SP-350V).
A typical installation would need:
1) 1 off aerial type e.g. D-777
2) 1 off aerial mounting bracket
3) 1 off Static Surge Protector e.g. type SP-350V
4) 1 off link cable (between aerial and SP-350V) fitted with PL-259
plugs each end
5) 50ohm down-cable (length/type to suit installation
– see over)
6) 1 off PL-259 plug to connect to SP-350V, and
7) 50ohm BNC Plug to connect to RLC.
