Before you begin, consider the following 
installation guidelines for the belowdecks units.

Control Unit and Modem

• Select a mounting location in a dry, well-

ventilated area belowdecks away from any 

heat sources or salt spray. 

• Be sure the front panels will be easily 

accessible to the user. 

• Leave enough room at the rear panel for 

connecting the cables.

• You have several options for mounting the 

control unit and modem:

Option 1 -  Inside the optional case

Option 2 -  To a horizontal surface together 

using two L-brackets

Option 3 -  To a horizontal surface 

separately using four L-brackets

• To use the supplied data and power cables, 

the control unit must be located within 100 ft 

(30 m) of the antenna. However, you can 

order 150 ft (45 m) cables if a longer cable run 

is necessary (see Figure 20 on page 11).

Router and MTA

• To use the supplied Ethernet cables, select a 

mounting location within 25 ft (7.5 m) of the 

modem (maximum length = 200 ft (60 m)).

• Be sure the location provides adequate WiFi 

reception. Do not install the router in an area 

surrounded by metal or near any electrical 

devices that generate RF noise.

Remote Service & Support Module

• To use the supplied serial data cable, select a 

mounting location within 25 ft (7.5 m) of the 

control unit (maximum length = 50 ft (15 m)).

• Be sure the location provides adequate GPRS 

cellular reception.
