The unit must not be mounted near exhaust pipes and vents.
Even though the transponder is a robust unit, it is advised that it should be mounted were shock and
vibration are minimal.

Leave sufficient space at the sides and top of the unit for maintenance and repair.
Also leave slack in cables for the same reason.
