2. Installation and Operation
2.1 Installation
The MX940 Radio is securely packed for transport within a pasteboard container.
Before unpacking the MX940 radio, please inspect the packaging for signs of damage
and report any damage to your MX940 distributor.
Upon unpacking of the MX940 radio, please ensure that all items shipped were
received, report any missing items to your MX940 distributor.
Check the fan is free or does not look blocked as operation of the radio will be
affected if any packaging or shipping damage causes the fan to stop working.
If you intend to install the radio in an equipment rack consult the suppliers
instructions for your system. If the radio is to be used in a stand-alone configuration,
ensure that it is in a secure, dry location with sufficient air space around it to allow for
adequate ventilation. It is recommended that the chassis is earthed to the equipment
rack.
Equipment connection details are located in Appendix 5.1. The MX940 will draw
approximately 15 to 17A (band dependent) for 100 Watts, <10A for 50W model on
transmit and the gauge of the DC cable fitted to the 12V supply connector should be
adequate to ensure less than 0.5V volt drop at this current.
