Installation Requirements 

 
Electronic devices are sensitive to external influences which should be taken into consideration 
while taking the device into operation. Proper place for assembling is necessary for good 
performance and long life span. Even though EASy+ modem is built to whit stand external 
vibrations, shocks, temperature fluctuations and high/low temperatures still those occurrences 
should be avoided as much as possible to maximize the durability and longevity of the product. 
High temperature decreases the lifespan of the components whereas vibration and shocks 
weaken the mechanical structure and can drastically affect the performance in use. 
 
Should be noted that SATEL-EASy+ is not meant for direct outdoor use and to avoid moisture or 
high humidity issues EASy+ modem is preferable to use only indoors or outside inside of proper 
isolation against harsh weather conditions.

 Installation Parts 

 

Installation Parts

 are a series of adjacent parts which are used to attach the modem to a 

structure and perform the grounding of the device. Installation parts can be purchased 
separately from the supplier and is not automatically included with the modem. Installation 
parts includes the following parts: Installation plate (1pcs), M3 screws (4pcs), Velcro tapes 
(2pcs), grounding screw (1pcs) and grounding connector (1pcs). Cable needed to complete the 
grounding can be purchased separately from most of the hardware stores or online shops and is 
not included to the installation parts. Order code for the installation parts is WP0600. 
 

15.1.2.1

 

Installation Plate 

 
Installation plate can be used to make permanent installations to flat surfaces. Installation plate 
is made out of zinc plated steel sheet and it has 4 screw positions on each of its corner. To ease 
the installation screws can be attached from the front side to the structure. 
Installation plate is included to installation kit which can be purchased separately.
