APPENDIX A
Modem Placement
When decided on a location to install your PinPoint-E, make sure the modem will be away from
direct exposure to the elements (sun, rain, etc.). Excess cables can be bundled and tied with twist-
ties or other appropriate binders, but the less the cable is wrapped and bound together, the better the
modem will perform.
Optional Mounting Kit
An optional accessory for your modem is a mounting kit. The bracket is designed to snugly cra-
dle the modem and hold it in place where you need it.
The PinPoint-E “snaps” into place in the bracket locking into the grooves on the PinPoint-E case.
The bracket can be further secured with a twist-tie set into the grooves on the top for situations
where the PinPoint-E may be subjected to violent movement, such as in the back of an automo-
bile. In most stationary installations, such as in a field or pipe, the PinPoint-E and bracket
shouldn’t require a twist-tie.
The bracket can be attached to the location using #6 screws (mounting hole diameter approxi-
mately 0.150").
