2.3 Installation Steps
2.3.1 Locating the MMT9000
The MMT9000 has been designed and tested for a rugged mobile environment. It is designed
to meet IP53 rating (dust protected, light rain), so an additional enclosure to house the modem
is not required. The MMT9000 can be installed in the trunk area or in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle. Do not install in the engine compartment.
The location of the MMT9000 in a vehicle should be close as possible to the mobile antenna to
reduce cable insertion loss.
Figure 5 Possible Locations for MMT9000
Other possible locations for the MMT9000 are. under the driver or passenger seat, trunk side
panel or trunk floor
CAUTION:
If the MMT9000 is likely to be exposed to rain or
spray, orient the MMT9000 so that the connector endplate is more
protected.This can be achieved by having the connectors facing
down or facing away from the exposed side. All connectors except
the Ethernet connector are waterproof. If the Ethernet connector is subjected
to too much spray, it can leak and/or short out until dry. Ensure the boot of the
Ethernet cable is snug against the chassis.
