3.3 INSTALLATION
1. Determine the location of your antenna from Figures 01 through 03 (the antenna is
designated with the red arrow). Be sure to mount the receiver antenna in direct
line-of-sight of the operator and free from all obstructions.
2. Do not mount receiver near high levels of electric noise, such as an unshielded
variable frequency drive, as it may cause minor interference. When mounting the
CAN-2 near unshielded variable frequency drive, Magnetek typically recommends
that the CAN-2 and all antenna cable routing be mounted a minimum of 24
inches from all unshielded variable frequency drives and cables.
3. Allow adequate room for mounting the receiver. Make sure to allow a minimum of 5”
between connector and nearest surface to allow for cable harness connections.
4. For best reception and to help protect connectors from moisture and water damage,
mount the receiver in an upright position.
5. If obstructions cannot be cleared, or the unit must be mounted inside a metal
enclosure, the remote antenna should be used (see Figure 01).
6. Do not enclose the antenna in steel. For best reception, keep all metal objects away
from the antenna. Consult the factory for more information regarding your
application.
7. The power supply to the CAN-2 system must have a master disconnect.
NOTE: Magnetek strongly recommends the use of circuit disconnects for all CAN-2
receivers. Consult factory for more information.
