2.6 Connecting the Dryer Assembly
The dryer input hose is the clear plastic tubing
attached to the compressor output port, located
under the wiring terminals.
The dryer output hose is the clear tubing with a
yellow cap on the end.
Remove the yellow cap from the dryer output hose
and push the hose onto the barbed fitting of the
single output port
(Section 2.3.4) or the optional
DP-4-001 Distribution Panel
(Section 2.3.5).
Replace the front panel assembly.
2.7 Connecting Dehydrator to the Cable System
Caution: Check the antenna and transmission
line system pressure rating before connecting the
dehydrator to the system. If the rating is below 5
lb/in2 (35 kPa), make sure the MRL model is used.
If the pressure rating is 5 lb/in2 (35 kPa) or greater,
use the MRH model.
Insert one end of the 3/8" PVC feed line tubing into
the compression fitting on the dryer output tube, or
one of the similar fittings on the DP-4-001
Distribution Panel. Tighten securely with a 9/16"
wrench. Be careful not to overtighten. Connect the
other end of the feed line tubing to the
transmission line.
Note: If the transmission lines have not been
purged, continue with section 2.8. Otherwise proceed
to Section 3.
