VEMCO - VR2Tx Manual 15 March 2019 29
4.2 Mooring Line Attachment
The common method used to attach a VR2Tx receiver to a mooring line is to use five cable ties (zip tie or tie-
wrap) with the following characteristics:
A set of five cable ties is shipped with each new VR2Tx receiver and more may be purchased from VEMCO
(product number HWE 507450).
Follow the instructions listed below to attach the VR2Tx receiver to the rope used as the mooring line. A
minimum rope size of 3/8" diameter nylon rope is suggested.
Suggested minimum:
3/8" diameter
nylon rope
Twist the rope so the strands of the
rope separate from each other and
an opening in the rope is seen.
This is referred to as opening the
“warp in the rope”.
STEP 2
Latch and tighten the cable tie so the
head of the cable tie is next to the rope.
STEP 4
Open the warp in the rope
again and slide another
cable tie through rope so it
lines up with the bottom half
of the lower groove around
the body of the VR2Tx.
Tighten the cable tie so the
tie’s head is next to the
rope.
STEP 5
Slide one of the cable ties
through the center of the rope
and the Attachment Hole.
