Receiver / Controller Unit Mounting

The RCU should be securely mounted inside the locomotive cab. The mounting location should

allow for reasonable access for both the electrical and pneumatic interfaces, but also be picked

to avoid interference with normal locomotive cab operations.

Figure 3-10: RCU Physical Details

The best approach for mounting is to erect a simple rail system allowing for some adjustment

yet providing a good secure support. It is recommended that the mounting frame be erected

using metal rails strong enough to support the enclosure’s weight (~95 lbs.). As shown above.

The mounting tabs on the RCU enclosure are on 14” centers and are ~31” between top and

bottom. Be sure to leave adequate clearance below the unit to make all interface connections

and in front to allow for the access panel opening. The following figure provides a basic

mounting concept.
