Installing the unit
3.1
Mounting
As the DL1 CLUB contains accelerometers, it is important that the unit is mounted on a
flat, fairly level surface in the vehicle. A small amount of tilt can be compensated for in
the software; however, large tilt angles cause loss of resolution and increased noise due
to vertical vibration. For more instructions on compensating for accelerometer tilt, read
the following pag:.

Just as importantly, the logger must be mounted "squarely" in the vehicle with the
button facing towards the back of the vehicle. If the unit is mounted at an angle to the
direction of travel for the vehicle, then the unit will be measuring longitudinal
accelerations when you are cornering and vice versa. Acceleration errors caused by
mounting the unit at an angle to the direction of travel cannot be compensated for, so it
is important to get it right.
In most installations the unit will be mounted using 2 strips of scotch lock tape on the
base of the unit. This is simple and secure and allows the unit to be moved quickly
between different vehicles. If a more permanent installation is required then there are
two main options available:
1.
You can use either the mounting holes on the side of the unit. These are designed to
take 2.9mm self tapping screws (No. 4) with a maximum penetration depth of
6.5mm.
2.
Or a set of "hook in" brackets are available that fit into the channels on the sides of
the case. They are made from brushed stainless steel, and are designed to be used
with M4 screws or similar diameter self tapping screws (#7 or #8). The mounting
diagram for these is shown below:
