Choose a location that will allow for easy access to the MCP connections
through the ends of the enclosure. Leave adequate space and cable
length in order to be able to slide the MCP circuit boards out of the
enclosure by 4” (100 mm) without removing cable connections.
The MCP can be mounted using four ¼” (6mm) screws or bolts with
washers.
NOTE:
Provided adequate clearance and cable length is provided, the MCP
circuit boards can be slid out of the housing to expose the connections
and adjustments without removing the enclosure from its shipboard
mounting location.
