sis of the lightning arrester should be connected

Installing the MCU
The MCU is designed for indoor mounting in a
common 19-inch relay rack or cabinet. The follow-
ing steps are required for proper installation.
1) Install the MCU into the rack or cabinet with four
mounting screws from the hardware kit (part #
3-16509) which is included with your shipment.
Make sure you use a nylon washer under the
head of the screws in order to protect the front
panel. Torque the mounting screws to no more
than 15 in/lbs. Over tightening the mounting
screws may damage the front panel.
2) Connect the MCU ground lug to the Equipment
Rack Master Ground Bar with a pigtail.
3) Connect the main and test transmission cables
to the appropriate connectors at the back of the
unit.

covering the rubber tape with either “Scotch Kote” or Vinyl Plastic Electrical Tape (“Scotch” brand 33+).
