Installing the RAC Instrument
The compact case design of the RAC Plus allows mounting of it in a num-
ber of convenient locations. Popular locations include on the front of the
dashboard, above or below the dashboard, or on the windshield using the
optional windshield mounting bracket. Wherever you decide to mount the
instrument, remember it should be within easy reach and the display should
be visible without obstructions.
It is most common to mount the RAC
to the front of the dashboard using the
Velcro provided. Two plastic 'L' brack-
ets are also provided to facilitate mount-
ing to the top of the dashboard if that is
your preferred location. For best results,
attach the 'L' bracket so that the bottom
of the 'L' is facing away from the RAC
as shown in gure 2.7.
Using the two 'L' brackets allows you to compensate for curved dashboards
even if it requires the RAC to be mounted on a left or right slope.
After mounting the RAC, plug the black cable from the MDS into the RAC.
You may want to consider allowing enough slack in the cable to permit a
passenger to hold/operate the RAC if necessary. Regardless of the mounting
location, Velcro strips are provided for quick, easy mounting & removal
of your RAC.
Once you have mounted your RAC and connected it to the MDS, proceed
to the calibration instructions in the following chapter.
