Installation

General Information

Upon receipt, carefully inspect the packaging for any signs of damage. Record any damage if evident for future reference or action.

Carefully unpack and examine all enclosed items as listed in the accompanying shipping note. Retain the packaging materials for possible future use.

Mounting Instructions

Visually inspect the installation site for the following (Refer to Figure 5-2 DR75 Digital Repeater - Dimensions, page 26):

There is adequate shock clearance around the position where the repeater is to be sited.

The mounting arrangement is such that the repeater is at a convenient level for viewing and or operating purposes.

Sufficient accessibility must be provided to enable the repeater to be removed from the mounting position for servicing purpose.

Adequate space for removal of the plug exists when the repeater is permanently mounted and to facilitate the routing of the power and data cable.

Fix the repeater mechanically in to position ready for electrical connection.
