Warning!
Do not use Velcro to mount the transceiver. Attaching and detaching Velcro
pieces creates an electro-static discharge that may damage the transceiver's circuitry,
or other electronic devices nearby. Mounting a transceiver to a metal surface may
result in an electrical short across the transceiver. Removing Velcro also creates
stress points on board-level transceivers with a great potential to damage the solder
points.
Ruggedized Gannet Enclosure Din Rail Mounting Instructions(MBRK-
DIN-N)
The FreeWave MBRK-DIN-N Din Rail Mounting Bracket Kit is available to mount transceivers in the dark
gray ruggedized Gannet enclosure. The mounting kit ships with the following hardware:
l
1 - Din rail mount
l
2 - 6-32 x 1/4 inch truss head screws
Depending on the din rail setup, it may be helpful to note the transceiver's serial number and any other
information needed from the transceiver's label. The transceiver snaps out of the mount if you require access
to the label information at a later time.
1. Slide the din rail mount over the rear of the
enclosure, ensuring the din rail mount is correctly
oriented so the cut outs for the feet match up with
the feet on the transceiver.
2. Align the holes on the din rail mount with those on
the transceiver. Secure the transceiver to the din
rail mount using the truss head screws provided.
3. Attach the transceiver in its din rail mount to the din
rail.
The din rail mount is designed to allow the
transceiver to be fitted with the LEDs facing to the
left or the right. The only difference is the location of
the release catch either at the top or at the bottom.
To remove the assembly from the din rail mount, insert a small screwdriver into the leverage point on the end
of the release catch and push down lightly approximately 0.25 inches (12.70 mm). The clamp releases and the
assembly can be lifted off.
