Choosing the Best Location for the MCU
• The MCU should be mounted in a dry location, allowing
enough room at the back for connecting system cables.
Also be sure to mount the MCU in a well-ventilated area
to prevent overheating, which will damage the system.
• The MCU should be placed so that the LCD display is
visible and the buttons are accessible to the user.
• The MCU is not susceptible to magnetic interference and
does not need to be mounted on a level surface.

The radome exterior is treated
with a special finish selected for
compatibility with the dome material
and transparency to the satellite
signals. Application of additional
paints or finishes WILL degrade
performance, potentially beyond
acceptable limits.
A full-size template of the baseplate
mounting holes has been provided
at the back of this manual.
Four small holes have been drilled
into the bottom of the baseplate to
ensure that any moisture that
enters the antenna unit is able to
drain. Be sure these drain holes do
not become blocked.
