Installing the Indoor Equipment and
Routing the Cables
This section provides general guidelines on how to install the ACU and satellite
receiver inside the vehicle.
Placing the ACU and Receiver
Plan the location of the ACU and satellite receiver in a dry and protected area, away
from any heat source and in an area with proper ventilation. Typically, they are
placed in a rack or closet. Ensure that there is at least 5cm of space around both units
for ventilation and connection of cables.
Installing the ACU and Receiver
Self-tapping screws are provided for fastening the ACU to the vehicle’s body.
Any other installation method which fixes the unit safely within the vehicle is also
acceptable.
Figure 34: Mounting the ACU
Ensure that the ACU and receiver have at least 5 cm of space around
both units for proper ventilation. Do not stack the units on top of
each other.
Only a trained automotive technician should perform this
installation. Gilat is not responsible for damage caused to vehicles
by the improper drilling through the body of the vehicle.
