Mounting the CrossCheck CDPD
The CrossCheck CDPD can be installed inside any type of vehicle and
in any orientation. It can be installed in an enclosed compartment or in
a location with limited accessibility, as long as the environmental
specifications are maintained to ensure reliable operation. For
example, the CrossCheck CDPD can be installed on the floor under a
seat, or on a wall behind a seat.
Note – The CrossCheck CDPD cannot be installed inside the engine
compartment, wheel well, chassis, or on any exterior surface of the
vehicle.
Choose a location for the CrossCheck CDPD that allows for
convenient routing and connection of the antenna and interface cables,
and that has access to a power source. When selecting a mounting
location, consider the specifications listed in Appendix A, and avoid
the following hazards:
• Direct exposure to weather
• Excessive heat (exhaust manifolds)
• Excessive cold (refrigeration units)
• High-vibration areas (engine compartment, transmission)
• Corrosive fluids and gases (acids, petroleum products)
• Direct exposure to water
(The CrossCheck CDPD is not waterproof.)
To mount the CrossCheck CDPD:
1. Choose the mounting location.
The CrossCheck CDPD can be mounted horizontally, vertically,
or in any convenient orientation. During normal system
operation, you do not need to see the CrossCheck CDPD LED
indicators. However, the ability to see the LED indicators is a
definite advantage when troubleshooting the unit.
