Mechanical
In selecting a place to mount the receiver, consider the following points:
•
Access to the wiring for the control box on your machine
•
Protection from mechanical damage during towing or during use
•
Select a location with a flat mounting surface
•
If possible, protect the receiver from direct exposure to sun and rain; even though the receiver is weather-
resistant, it is good practice to protect it from the elements
Securely mount the receiver box to the pump using the supplied hardware.
4.2
Antenna Installation
Note:
Proper antenna installation is essential for peak performance of the Pump Boss II. Take care to install
the antenna properly.
Two different styles of antenna are available for Pump Boss II® systems. These must be permanently attached to
the pump for proper performance. The standard Antenna supplied with the system is the RCA7 Long Range
Antenna. An optional Antenna Mount is available that accepts a ‘whip’ style of antenna for short-range
applications.
4.3
Locating the Antenna
For best reception, the antenna must be mounted to a horizontal surface with the top of the antenna at least eight
inches away from all major metal structures (vents, splash panel, exhaust, etc.). There should be a clear line of
sight between the antenna and the transmitter when pumping. The top of the pump hood is an excellent mounting
location.
