Replace ALERT1 receiver with 5052RD-K ALERT2 receiver/decoder Add
ALERT1 receiver/decoder option to collect legacy ALERT1 date during
upgrade transition Rack mount installation recommended Desktop
installation possible Use AC power adapter Connect to battery
backup power system Stand alone battery with charge no longer used
Antenna splitter uses same receiver antenna for ALERT1 and ALERT2

polyphaser Increases received signal to offset splitter and filter
insertion losses Install antenna splitter after preamp Antenna
splitters have small insertion loss Install cavity or crystal
filters after splitter Separate filters required for ALERT1 and
ALERT2 receiver frequencies Crystal filters have the best
performance as filters Very compact size and inline installation
7dB insertion loss requires preamp for signal boost 8 week delivery

Slide 51 Remove any cables already on the mast so they will not be
damaged. Drill a 5/8 hole in the mast about 9"up from the mast
enclosure. Run the cables thru the mast, use long nose pliers to
pull the connector through the hole. Install GPS Antenna on mast
with Bracket + U-Bolt. The Snap Bushing is split so it will go
around the coaxial cable, press the bushing in the 5/8 hole and
install the strain relief provided. Slide 52 Add Alert2 station
