Installing the transceiver
The transceiver must be mounted in a position that:
•
allows easy access to the controls
•
allows a free flow of air through the rear cooling fins
•
is not exposed to direct sunlight
•
will not cause injury in the event of rough conditions or an
accident.
Mounting the cradle, gimbals and transceiver
The cradle and gimbals for mounting the transceiver are
suitable for locations where there is enough space available
to slide the transceiver in and out.
The cradle provides DC isolation for the transceiver.
To mount the cradle, gimbals and transceiver:
1. Assemble the supplied pair of mounting gimbals onto the
cradle in the position and angle that provides good access
to the mounted transceiver controls. Two fixing bolts
(M5 x 8mm) for each gimbal are supplied.
2. Secure the cradle in position with the rotating cam
catches to the front. Ensure there is sufficient space at the
rear of the cradle to clear the transceiver heat sink and
connectors.
3. Align both cam catch slots with the T-section slides.
