Section 1: Preparing for installation

Before installing your NX100 transmitter, perform the following steps:

1. Ensure that you have performed the pre-installation tasks described in the

NX100 Pre-installation Manual.

2. Make sure that you received all the components. (Check your packing list.)

3. Inspect all crates and packages for damage.

4. Report any damage immediately to your Nautel sales representative and the carrier.

5. Move the crates as close as possible to the transmitter’s planned location.

6. Unpack the crates in accordance with the instructions provided on the outside of the crates.

• For each crate, remove the panel labelled open this side. The panel is attached using

Philips head screws.

• Remove any visible packing material, including braces, from the crate's interior.

7. Review any assembly notes or instructions contained inside the transmitter crates. (For sites

requiring custom configurations, the instructions provided with the transmitter replace the
