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.
Note: In extremely hot conditions, do not leave the RAC Plus on the
dash when it is not in use.
It is most common to mount the RAC
to the front of the dashboard using
the Velcro provided. Two plastic 'L'
brackets are also provided to facilitate
mounting 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 figure 2.8.
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.
