Mounting the EMUX

IETG recommends installing the EMUX in the same location or in
close proximity to the RTU and/or power source. This minimizes
the distance required for the serial cable connecting the EMUX to
the RTU and, therefore, maintains a strong signal. It also limits
power degradation in transmission. Choose an enclosure for the
EMUX that is appropriate for the specific environment in which it
will function. When possible, consider mounting the unit in the
same enclosure that contains the RTU and/or power source.

Outdoor Installation Mount the EMUX inside a suitable
weatherproof enclosure.

Indoor Installation Mount the EMUX inside an appropriate
protective enclosure using good electrical practice.

Mount the EMUX in the following way:

1. Clean the back surface of the EMUX with alcohol, and then

attach two pieces of Velcro (included) to the back of the unit.
