Renewal of aerial wiring
Renewal of aerial wiring
A new concept has been developed for repairing aerial cables. From now on, the spare parts available are junction cables of different lengths and different adaptor cables instead of a complete aerial cable.
General description
t  The aerial cables should not be repaired. If necessary, they should be replaced with original junction cables and adaptor cables available as original spare parts.
t  The parts are listed in the → Spare parts catalogue (ETKA): Special Catalogue; Electrical Connections; Genuine Accessories; Sub-group 35 as of chart 035-20.
t  These original spare parts can be used for all aerial cables and all cable sections that need to be replaced.
t  The connector casings for aerial wires are only available as spares in only one colour, even though they can be used for any colour of the aerial connectors.
t  Repairs do not include replacement of individual antenna connectors.
t  These cables should be used retroactively for SEAT models, regardless of the section of the aerial cable.
t  All adapter and connection wires are suitable for all transmitter and receiver signals.
t  This repair concept can also be used for checking or for future installation.
   
Overview of aerial cable installation
Example: The cable that goes from the radio to the aerial is faulty. The following wires are required for the repair:
1 - Adaptor cable, for connection to the radio. Length approx. 30 cm
2 - Junction cable; available in different lengths
3 - Adaptor cables, for connection to the aerial. Length approx. 30 cm
Assembly of a new aerial cable:
  Note
Depending on the automobile’s equipment, the aerial cable may be subdivided into various sections by the aerial selection control units, the traffic station control units or the aerial amplifiers. In all cases, only the faulty section should be replaced.
–  Pull defective aerial wire connections off units.
–  Find out where the faulty cable runs through the vehicle and measure the total length of the aerial connection to be replaced in the vehicle.
  N97-0424
Total length of aerial connection = length of adapter leads -1- and -3- required as well as connecting wire -2-.
–  To calculate the length of the junction cable required -2-, subtract 60 cm from the total length measured for the aerial connection.
–  Order the adapter cables -1- and -3- and the connection cable -2- necessary in the calculated length as Original Spare Parts according to the Spare Parts catalogue.
–  Cut off connectors of defective aerial wire.
The remainder of the defective aerial wire remains in the vehicle.
–  Connect the adaptor cables -1- and -3- to the devices in the vehicle.
–  Lay out and fit the union wire -2- very near the series wiring.
  Note
The aerial cables should not be bent excessively. The bending radius must be minimum 50 mm.
–  Connect the junction cable to the adaptor cables.
–  Carry out an operation test.
