2.3 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
When planning the installation for your VHF5200, the following conditions should be consid-
ered to insure dependable and trouble-free operation.
.
The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel.
l
There should be adequate ventilation for the control unit.
l
A sufficient space should be secured behind the transceiver to allow for proper cable
connections to the rear panel connectors.
l
The transceiver should be located as
nearto
the power source as possible.
l
The selected location should be as far apart as is possible from any devices that may cause
interference such as motors, generators, and other on board electronics.
l
Generally speaking, the transceiver should be protected from prolonged direct exposure to
rain and salt spray.
It is always a good practice to protect your valuable electronic equipment
as much
as
possible.
.
Use adequate sized wire for all DC power connections and make sure to solder all in-line
connectors or splices.
