Routine Operation 3-11STRATA TX Operator’s Guide/Tech Ref Manual
usually be mounted in an MRC Universal Mounting Bracket. The
Universal Mounting Bracket will then be attached to a Quick
Release for easy mounting on an MRC tripod. See Figure 3-7.
Universal Mounting Brackets are required for each unit in the
STRATA TX System, i.e., TXU, TCU, and an optional ACU.
For applications using multiple units such as a TXU, TCU, and
an ACU, a Mounting Plate is also used to provide additional
stiffness. The Mounting Plate typically remains attached
between the Universal Mounting Bracket and the Quick Release.
The cabling between TX System units is also typically left in
place. The power, antenna and audio/video connections are
usually removed at the end of each deployment.
For portable deployment situations where you are mounting to
another type of tripod that doesn’t directly accept the Quick
Release, consult with MRC or your tripod manufacturer. MRC
has Dovetail Adapter Plates that will convert some types of
tripods to accept the Quick Release.
Note
The procedures and illustrations contained in the
following paragraph are typical, reflecting use of an
MRC tripod.
Mounting to the Tripod Following are the general steps to
mount a STRATA TX System to an MRC Tripod. These steps
assume the TX System is already assembled into its Universal
Mounting Bracket(s), and that the Mounting Plate and Quick
Release are attached.
Figure 3-7: Universal Mounting Bracket on Tripod
1. Attach the TX System to the Tripod using the Quick
Release as shown in Figure 3-8 on page 3-12.
2. Attach the antenna to the TXU using the Antenna Lock
Plate, or connect a coaxial cable from the TXU to the
antenna. See Figure 3-9 on page 3-12.
