2.4 Connecting the Antenna

Connect the TR2526+ to the antenna via the N-connector. After connection, the N connector
must be waterproofed with the supplied rubber sealing tape. See “2.6 Water Proofing

Connections” on page 8 for details.

Vecima recommends that the N connector should be tightened to a maximum torque of 15
in/lb. If the antenna’s N connector does not have flats for a torque wrench then we
recommend hand tightening only. The use of excessive torque can cause damage to the
transceiver connectors or internal circuitry.

2.5 Connecting the IF Cable

Connect one end of an RG-59 or RG-6 cable to the TR2526+ F-connector. After connection,
the F connector must be waterproofed with the supplied rubber sealing tape. See “2.6

Water Proofing Connections” on page 8 for details.

Vecima recommends F connectors should be tightened to a maximum torque of 30 in/lb. A
7/16" torque wrench should be used to prevent over tightening. The use of excessive torque
can cause damage to the transceiver connectors or internal circuitry .

2.6 Water Proofing Connections

Many transceiver problems can be attributed to environmental conditions (including
vibration), which can loosen cables and permit moisture to penetrate the connectors. It is
highly recommended to seal the connectors using a technique similar to the one described
below. This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections tight. For your
convenience, Vecima Networks has pro vided two 6 inch lengths of rubber self-amalgamating
sealing tape to use on the two connections of the TR2526+. The diagrams below show the
N connector, but the F connector also should be sealed using the same technique.

To water proof the connection follow these steps:

1) Wrap the antenna connection using the section of rubber sealing tape provided by

Vecima. 
Starting at the TR2526+ end, stretch the tape and wrap it around the connector as close
as possible to the wall of the TR2526+. Overlap the tape by approximately one-half of
its width so that it can form a seal with itself . Extend the wr apping to approximately one
inch past the end of the connector.

Figure 2-6: Waterproofing the connection - Step 1

2) Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape. 
Start approximately one inch further down the cable, and stretch the tape, overlapping
by one-half. Wrap to the TR2526+ end, then without breaking the tape, wrap back
down to the cable end.

Figure 2-7: Waterproofing the connection - Step 2

3) When done, the connection should be tightly wrapped with tape, with a good seal to the
cable.

Connection

to Modem

To building

ground

Vecima Networks strongly suggests securing

the power cable to the power inserter as shown.

This will help to prevent unintentional

disconnection.

VPNPWRCORD-xxx

CPE/PSI-01

Power Supply & Inserter

(xxx designates the

country for which the

power cord is made)

WARNING! Always unplug the power supply before making or changing connnections to the power

inserter.

CAUTION: The power inserter should be installed as near to the building entrance as possible. If this

is not possible, then a grounding block for the transceiver cable must be installed at the service
entrance.

WARNING! If the power inserter is not connected correctly, the TR2526+ will not operate, and there

is the potential to damage the cable modem.

Connect the TR2526+ F-Connector to the power inserter, located indoors with the cable
modem. Vecima recommends that the F connectors should be tightened to a maximum
torque of 30 in/lb. A 7/16" torque wrench should be used to prevent over tightening. The
use of excessive torque can cause damage to the transceiver connectors or internal circuitry .

The power inserter has three connections:

• DC POWER - Connect to wall adapter with RG-59 cable with F connectors

• TO MODEM - Connect to cable modem (install modem only after the antenna is
aligned)

• TO TRANSCEIVER - Connect to TR2526+

Ensure that the connection to the TR2526+ is made before plugging in the AC
adapter/power supply (i.e. hook up the power supply last).

Connecting the Power Inserter

Connect the power inserter to the Cable Modem. If the antenna is to be aligned with the
self-install feature, ensure that the power inserter is connected to the Cable Modem, only
after the antenna is aligned.

Figure 2-9: Connecting the Power Inserter and Power Supply

Aligning the Antenna



2.8 Aligning the Antenna

The TR2526+ is equipped with an audible alignment aid that simplifies the setup process. It
permits alignment to the hub site without the use of the cable modem or any test
equipment. It consists of a level detector for the full receive band and an audible beeper
sealed into the unit that sounds at a rate that increases with increasing signal level.

The detector operates over a wide signal level range. Installations that are closer to the hub
site and consequently receive a higher signal level will have a faster beep rate than an
installation further out. In each case, finding the alignment with the fastest beep rate
indicates the best alignment.

Note: The TR2526+ alignment aid does not discriminate between signals in the receive band. If

signals other than those from the hub are present, this could result in a misalignment. In this case, a
conventional alignment technique would need to be employed.

Note: Before aligning the antenna, ensure that the cable modem is not connected to the power

inserter. The cable modem signal m ay preven t the audible alignment aid from responding to very weak
receive signals.

Signal Strength and Alignment:

1) Mount the TR2526+ and the antenna as described in “2.2 Mounting the TR2526+” on

page 4 and “2.3 Mounting the Antenna” on page 5. If the antenna is difficult to tilt or
turn, loosen the antenna mounts slightly.

2) Apply power to the TR2526+. The beeper will begin beeping as soon as power is applied.

3) Point the antenna in the general direction of the hub site, then fine tune the alignment

by moving the antenna slightly in both directions to maximize the rate of the beeper. A
fast beep rate indicates a high quality signal, a slow beep rate indicates a poor quality
signal. The fastest rate represents the highest rec e ive signal level and the best
alignment.

4) Once you have optimized the alignment, tighten the antenna mount to secure it to the
pole. The beeper will automatically mute between 1 and 7 minutes after the unit was
powered up, turning off sooner with higher received signal level.

To reset the beeper:

1) Unplug the power supply from its AC connection.

2) Wait 5 seconds and plug the power supply back into its AC connection. The beeper will

begin beeping as soon as power is available.
