Section 6 Installation
6.1 GPS Sensor Installation
6.1.1 Selecting the Position for Installation
When connecting the cable attached to the equipment, do not bend it acutely, twist
it, or impart excessive force. Doing so sometimes causes cracks or damage to the
coating, resulting in fire or electrocution.
Do not install the sensor where there is excessive vibration.
Vibration may cause sensor failure.
Do not paint the sensor.
Doing so may result in reception problems.
The junction box rubber gaskets fit φ 10 - 20 cables.
Install the sensor where there are no obstacles, in order to ensure that GPS signals
can be directly received from satellites without interference or reflection of signals
from surrounding objects.
Whenever possible, select a place with the following characteristics.
If it is difficult to find an ideal site, select a place temporarily and install the equipment.
Conduct a test to make sure that the proper performance can be obtained and then fix the
equipment in position. If it is installed at an improper place, reception accuracy may be
impaired.
Please consult with JRC or an affiliate to perform installation.
Installation by unauthorized personnel may result in malfunction.
