4.2 Mounting, Installation and Antenna Connection
4.2.1 Mounting & Installation
A mounting bracket kit has been supplied with your connector/transmitter.
The diagram below shows dimensions and how to install your mounting
bracket.
Your UWTC-2-NEMA and UWRTD-2-NEMA connectors come with built-in
mounting holes. See Fig. 4-12B above for mounting dimensions.
TIP: Use the plate as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes you
need to drill before installing the mounting kit onto the connector transmitter.

4.2.2 Mounting
When mounting your connector/transmitter, care should be taken to make
sure it is as far away from any metal objects. If nearby metal gets too close
to your connector/transmitter, it has the potential to interfere with the way
the unit radiates and may cause signal lose or possibly even the inability to
communicate at all with your receiver.
4.2.3 Installation
When installing your connector/transmitter it is important to position your
device in such a way as to optimize the antenna location within what’s known as
the “Fresnel Zone”.
The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel
between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your
connector/transmitter and your receiver.
