Mounting and wiring the 2701
Choosing the best 2701 mounting location
The 2701 is housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with a mounting flange, gaskets, and watertight
connectors. Though designed to withstand the marine environment, the unit is not completely
waterproof; protect it by installing it where water won’t contact it directly or enter it through data/
power or antenna cables.
Mounting and wiring the 2701
You can mount the 2701 either horizontally or vertically using the appropriate mounting holes; see
Figure 12 on the next page.
Keyhole slots at the rear will help if you’re installing the 2701 where access is limited and it’s hard to
start the mounting screws at the obstructed end. Securely tighten all mounting screws to avoid
vibration-related problems.
CAUTION!
Do not open the 2701: There aren’t any serviceable parts inside.
Unauthorized tampering will automatically void the warranty.
