CB2 Manual

2.  INSTALLATION

2.1  Mounting

2.1.1 Transceiver mounting

Determine the mounting location for the CB2 ensuring that there are suitable access routes 

for all the required cables and attach securely to a flat surface using the four fixing screws 

provided. The unit should be easily accessible to allow for disconnection from the power 

source. The power/data cable plug is the disconnect device, unplugging this will isolate 

the CB2 from both poles of the power source. It is also recommended that the unit can be 

accessed later to view the indicator LED and operate the Mode button.
