6.5 Mounting and Cabling
Each installation or deployment will have its own specific tasks
according to the application and the installed hardware. The
following sections describe two options for mounting and cabling
the Strata RX:
• Floor/Bulkhead Installation
• Tripod Deployment
6.5.1 Floor/Bulkhead Installation
For mobile applications such as an aircraft or vehicle, the Strata
RX is usually bolted in place, and the cabling is permanently
installed. Power comes from aircraft (or vehicle) power.
Mounting
The Strata RX is typically mounted on a bulkhead or
on the floor of a compartment using a Vislink
Fixed Mounting
Bracket
. The Fixed Mounting bracket accepts both the RXU and
RCU, and provides “ears” at the front to which the RXU and RCU
attach. See Figure 6-1.
The RXU and RCU must have the correct mounting hardware
installed, with mating “ears” and screws to attach to the Bracket.
If your RXU or RCU was originally equipped for use with a
Universal Mounting Bracket
, it will not have this hardware.
Consult your Sales Representative or Vislink for the hardware
needed to convert these units to use the Fixed Mounting
Bracket.
