Installation and Set Up
Installation Considerations
Before commencing installation of the OmniSTAR 5220HP in a vehicle or
aircraft, the following should be considered:
•
Determine the preferred location for each unit. Consider cable length,
connector attachment space (cable bend radius), stowing excess cable,
moisture, chemical corrosion, vibration and heat exposure.
•
Before drilling holes, consider using existing hardware and locations
where equipment was previously installed. Avoid drilling holes that may
damage other equipment (e.g. structural frame members, electrical
cables or fluid lines).
•
High vibration and high temperature locations should be avoided
whenever possible.
•
In application where vibration exceeds 5Gs acceleration, shock mounts
are required. (Refer to Customer support for mounting
recommendations).
•
Vehicle primary power has voltages that may be harmful to personnel and
equipment. Disconnect the battery cable from the battery (negative)
terminal before making connection to any power terminal within the
vehicle.
