NOTES: 1: FOR TRANSMITTERS WITH LIGHTNING/SURGE PROTECTION, CONNECT DRAIN WIRE TO A LOW-IMPEDANCE EARTH GROUND. FOR TRANSMITTERS WITHOUT LIGHTNING/SURGE PROTECTION, THIS PIN IS CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMITTER CASE. 2: DRYING TUBE ASSEMBLY - CLEAR TUBE FILLED WITH INDICATING DESICCANT, ATTACHES DIRECTLY TO CABLE VENT TUBE, INTERCEPTS WATER VAPOR. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WHEN OPERATING IS IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. MUST BE PERIODICALLY RENEWED AS DESICCANT BECOMES SATURATED, TURNING COLOR FROM BLUE (DRY) TO PINK (SATURATED). REMOVE YELLOW CAP FROM FREE END AFTER INSTALLATION. 3: BELLOWS ASSEMBLY - ALTERNATIVE TO THE DRYING TUBE, THIS ANEROID BELLOWS ATTACHES TO CABLE VENT TUBE AND REQUIRES NO PERIODIC MAINTENANCE. RECOMMENDED WHERE A SLIGHT SACRIFICE IN ACCURACY CAN BE TOLERATED.
