Assemble the MA 850A1 on top of the bracket. 

3.

 

Connect between 

MA 850A1 

and 

MA 1000 

as follows: 

 

For antenna sensing support (RHU 1000 version 3.1 and higher), connect between the 

Control

 connectors at the rear of both units using cable 

705102101

 

NOTE: 

For antenna sensing support in RHU 1000 version 3.0 and lower, upgrade to version 3.1 

according to the 

MA 850A1 Upgrade Procedure Guide.
