Installation
Installation Considerations
Before commencing installation of the 3100LRS in a vehicle or aircraft, the
following should be considered :
• Determine the preferred location for each unit. Consider cable length,
connector attachment space (cable bend radius), stowing excess
cable, moisture, chemical corrosion, vibration and heat exposure.
• Before drilling holes, consider using existing hardware and locations
where equipment was previously installed. Avoid drilling holes that may
damage other equipment (e.g. structural frame members, electrical
cables or fluid lines).
• High vibration and high temperature locations should be avoided
whenever possible.
• In application where vibration exceeds 5Gs acceleration, shock mounts
are required. (Refer to Customer support for mounting
recommendations).
• Vehicle primary power has voltages that may be harmful to personnel
and equipment. Disconnect the battery cable from the battery –ve
(negative) terminal before making connection to any power terminal
within the vehicle.
Electrical Grounding Requirements
The 3100LRS requires a vehicle chassis connection that is a perfect ground.
There should be a zero ohm reading between the receiver power socket –ve
(negative) input and the point where the vehicle battery –ve (negative) terminal
is connected to ground.
