//Data2/MarineSync-Sales Marketing/Approved Technical Docs/RUM 4 Mounting the Transponder It is recommended the transponder be mounted near the sub-meter and/or power supply. The transponder should not be positioned in a manner that makes it difficult to gain access. The transponder is equipped with an internal antenna. To maximize performance, the transponder should be mounted as high as possible. Mount the transponder in a vertical orientation where possible. If installing within a weather-resistant enclosure or pedestal, the transponder may be mounted horizontally. Use the (4) mounting holes in the base plate to fasten (fig. 1). Top Figure 1
//Data2/MarineSync-Sales Marketing/Approved Technical Docs/RUM 5 Mounting the Power Supply It is recommended the DC power supply be installed in an accessible location within the pedestal. Only use MarineSync supplied AC/DC power supply. The power supply must be directly wired to an unmetered, uninterrupted power source 100-240VAC. In some applications, the pedestals lighting circuit may provide an adequate connection point. Ensure the power supply is not installed between a photocell or switch.
