9.4.2.2.1 Portable Node Installation
The Portable Node is attached to the vehicle using a
magnetic base. The Node must be installed on the vehicle
such that:-
 It has a flat smooth and clear surface to fix to
 It does not protrude from the vehicle or in a
position where it may be damaged
 It does not obstruct the driver’s view
 It has a clear line of sight to the sky
 It is a minimum of 300mm away from any other
communication antenna
 Magnets should be kept clean from dust for
maximum effect.
 It is mounted in a position so that all 3 magnets
are positively attached to a ferromagnetic
vehicle surface
Avoid harsh braking whilst in use to minimize the chance of the node becoming dislodged in a dangerous manner.
