Overall Mounting Dimensions
Mounting The Brat:
The Brat features rainproof construction allowing great flexibility in installation.
Things to consider when selecting a location for the Brat:
◘ Length of wire runs/power losses - Longer wires mean heavier gauge wire and greater power loss.
◘ Environment - The brat's weatherproof construction gives great flexibility, but if it is installed in a very
warm location power output may be reduced.
◘ Visibility of indicator LEDs - The Brat should be mounted where the status LEDs are readily visible.
When you have selected a suitable mounting location, simply attach to the selected area with
appropriate screws (not included). #8 hardware should be enough to secure the Brat.
The Brat's weatherproof design even allows "nail it to a tree" installations.
