Mount the 8720MC-RPS Unit
Mounting Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when mounting 8720MC-RPS units in
parallel configurations:
• In configurations where one or two follower units are present, mount
the leader unit to the far right of the follower units
• Leader and follower units in the same configuration must be of the same
size and series. You cannot mix units of catalog number
8720MC-RPS065 with 8720MC-RPS190 and you cannot mix units of
series # with series B
• Mount 8720MC-RPS units according to the specified maximum
distance. This is required so that the connecting cables between
8720MC-RPS units reach from one unit to another
