Mounting the Blackbox
¼ Notes: Allow easy access to the Blackbox for connection to the 12 V DC power supply, the antenna(s),
and additional wiring.
• The Blackbox can be positioned vertically on a bulkhead or horizontally. Avoid positions that might
get wet or hot, such as in the engine compartment or close to the bilge.
• The Blackbox is not water-proof.
• If mounting the Blackbox vertically, ensure the wiring glands are facing downwards in order to
prevent the ingress of water.
• Ensure all cables once fixed in place to do not put any strain or tension on the Blackbox connectors.
⚠Warning: Under extreme operating conditions, the temperature of the heat-sink on this radio may
reach a surface temperature that is unsafe to touch. Caution is advised to prevent possible skin
burns. Good ventilation is required. Choose a location that will not expose the unit to conditions
that exceed the specifications. Refer to “RS100/B, V100/B Specifications” on page 78.
