NX100 Installation Manual Installing audio inputsIssue 3.2 2017-03-31 Page 7-1Section 7: Installing audio inputsThis section describes how to route audio input wiring to the NX100’s exciters.Planning complete?1. Make sure you have read and fully understood the audio input options described in theNX100 Pre-installation Manual before proceeding.2. Make sure the audio input wires are long enough to allow routing through the top of thetransmitter cabinet and down to the exciter panel.Routing cables1. Route all audio cables from their audio sources to the top of the transmitter.2. Get two ferrite toroids (one each of Nautel Part # LXP44 and LP23) from the ancillary kit.3. Pass all audio input cables through the ferrite toroids obtained in Step 2. If practical, wiresshould pass through a minimum of two times (two turns) (see Figure 7.1 on page 7-2). Anentrance is provided at the top of the transmitter to accept audio input wiring (see Figure 7.2on page 7-2). Position the ferrite toroids just outside, or just inside, the audio input entryhole.4. Route the audio input cables through the entry hole and toward the exciter panel (A11),located behind the front door (see Figure 7.3 on page 7-3). If possible, install exciter matingconnectors after passing cables through the audio input entry hole.5. With the audio input cables near their destination, cut each wire to the required length andinstall connectors, as necessary.6. Remove plastic cap-plugs from the connectors on the exciter panel, if applicable.7. Connect the appropriate audio input cable(s) to the connector(s) described in Section 7 ofthe NX100 Pre-installation Manual.
