Hardware and Software Installation

Do not expose the MP modem to weather and environ­
mental conditions beyond the ranges listed in the environ­
mental specifications on

page 60

. Avoid excessive heat

from the engine compartment, heaters, or the exhaust
system, and extreme cold from direct contact with air
conditioners or other cooling systems. Never immerse it in
any liquid.

If you are replacing a MP modem, you can mount the new
MP modem in the same location using the existing
mounting holes.

Every device connected to the MP modem, as well as the
MP modem itself, should be grounded. (See

“Ground the

MP modem”

on page 26 and

“Ground the power harness”

on page 31.)

Route cables to their destinations without using excess
wiring.

Make sure all connectors and the reset button are easy to
reach and the indicator lights are visible.

Mounting procedure

To mount the MP modem:

1.

Use the provided mounting template to mark the location
of the mounting holes.

Drill 5/32" pilot holes (unless you are reusing holes from a
previous MP modem mounting).

3.

Use the supplied mounting screws and washers to secure
the MP modem through the holes along the edge of the
case bottom.
