3.5 Receiver / Controller Unit Mounting
The RCU should be securely mounted inside the locomotive cab. The mounting location
should allow for reasonable access for both the electrical and pneumatic interfaces, but also
be picked to avoid interference with normal locomotive cab operations.
Figure 3-7: Typical RCU Physical Details
The best approach for mounting is to erect a simple rail system allowing for some adjustment
yet providing a good secure support. It is recommended that the mounting frame be erected
using metal rails strong enough to support the enclosure’s weight (~95 lbs.). As shown above,
the mounting tabs on the RCU enclosure are on 16” centers and are ~31” between top and
bottom. Be sure to leave adequate clearance below the unit to make all interface connections
and in front to allow for the access panel opening. The following figure provides a basic
mounting concept.
