Installing the SiteNet 450 Network 3
3.3 Mounting the SiteNet 450 on a Machine
When mounting the SiteNet 450 on a machine consider the following:
– Reduce damage by minimizing shock and vibration to the
SiteNet 450: Mount the radio-modem on a solid part of the
cab.
– Locate the best antenna position: Mount the entire antenna
above the roofline so that it has an uninterrupted view. This
improves the performance of the SiteNet 450.
– Prevent signal interference: Position the antenna away
from other antennas (particularly if the other antenna is a
two-way radio), rotating beacons and strobe lights.
Figure 3.4 shows a typical installation.
