Re: [WISPA] Polyphaser's on Canopy

2010-07-14 Thread Marco Coelho
I really have to agree with Marlon.  We used mastic, but abandoned it
after finding a better method.  Our approach:

>From the Bottom:

Liberal coating of Scotchkote Electrical Coating (no 14853) on all
surfaces and especially between the joints.

Layer of Scotch Rubber Splicing tape No 23.  Stretch this to 1/2
thickness as you apply.  Always rap from the bottom up (like you roof
a house).

Slightly light coat of  Scotchkote Electrical Coating (no 14853) on
all surfaces and especially between the joints.

Layer of Scotch Rubber Splicing tape No 23.  Stretch this to 1/2
thickness as you apply.  Always rap from the bottom up (like you roof
a house).

Layer of cheep electrical tape to protect if from UV rays.

I've never had to open one of these because of moisture (we have hundreds).

I hear ya Kurt.

Not sure about the 900mhz part.

In my mind the problem isn't only the moisture, it's also the corrosion that

comes with it.  900 handles water better than 2.4 or 5 gig does, very true. 
But a corroded connector isn't going to work as well as a clean one.  And 
it's not like the old VHF days when we had tens or hundreds of watts to play

with and only voice, that no one expected to sound perfectly, to transport.

Me?  I just don't buy devices that I can't weather seal.  I tell 
manufactures that all of the time.  I don't care if you can give me a $5.00 
radio that will deliver 200mbps to home users at 50 miles on the other side 
of a mountain, if I can't make it reliable I just can't use it these days. 
Internet is no longer a toy used for sending the occasional email and 
downloading one's favorite songs.

I've tried silicone in a situation like that but there is something inside 
it that will actually speed up the corrosion inside the connector.  So far 
the best thing I've found is to take the offending device to a machine shop 
and modify it.  And/or use jumpers so you've got more room to work with.

Have fun!

n type connectors are NOT water proof!  They WILL get water into them.

What happens is the sun comes out and warms up the connector.  Then it rains

on it, quickly cooling the connector off.  That creates a vacuum inside the 
connector, sucking a bit of water inside.

I've literally seen mold growing inside connectors that weren't taped or 
taped right.

Try this.  Put your connection (use a toss away one) inside the dish washer.

Then toss it into the freezer.  Back to the dish washer, then set it in cold

water.  Then the oven, back to cold water.  Might use some salt water too, 
that'll speed up any corrosion.

If you get ANY water showing up in the connector you've got to do a better

I just took down a competitor's "tower site" at a farmer who fired them. 
They didn't seal the connector at the top of the tower.  Water got into the 
coax and drifted 50' down the tower, into the box and rusted the amp that 
they were using at the bottom of the tower!

EVERYTHING outside needs to be sealed up at these frequencies.

n type connectors are NOT water proof!  They WILL get water into them.

What happens is the sun comes out and warms up the connector.  Then it rains

connector, sucking a bit of water inside.

I've literally seen mold growing inside connectors that weren't taped or

Then toss it into the freezer.  Back to the dish washer, then set it in cold

If you get ANY water showing up in the connector you've got to do a better 
job of sealing it.

I just took down a competitor's "tower site" at a farmer who fired them. 
They didn't seal the connector at the top of the tower.  Water got into the 
coax and drifted 50' down the tower, into the box and rusted the amp that 
they were using at the bottom of the tower!

EVERYTHING outside needs to be sealed up at these frequencies.

Good luck!  grin

I highly recommend them.  Even on DC grounded antennas.

Especially when mounted to the top of a tower.

[WISPA] Polyphaser's on Canopy

2010-07-12 Thread Kurt Fankhauser
Is it necessary to add Poly Phaser lightning arrestors on connectorized
Canopy units? Even if they are mounted to the tippy top of tower with an
Omni?
