INSTALLATION PREPARATION
In this chapter, you will learn how to begin installing your iR1200 modem.
Before You Start Installing
Only experienced technicians familiar with installing similar types of hardware equipment should install the modem. For safety
and to avoid damage to the modem or vehicle wiring, the installer should have knowledge of the following subjects.
•
Antenna location
•
Automotive wiring (if applicable)
•
Vehicle cable routing (if applicable)
Installation Planning
Planning is the key to a quick and simple installation. Before drilling holes or running wires, you should inspect the vehicle or
area of the building to determine how and where you intend to mount the modem, antenna and components. (See Required
Components List on page 3).
Planning Modem Location
Factors to consider when planning for the location or placement of your iR1200 modem:
•
Easily Accessible – You should allow easy access to the modem (for troubleshooting purposes).
•
Easily Visible – You should allow a clear view of the modem's LED indicators.
•
Proximity of the Cables – The distance between connections, especially that between the modem and antenna, affects
performance. The shorter the distance between these components, the better the signal. (Please refer to the antenna's
Safety Warranty for proper installation of modem and antenna.)
•
Environment Considerations:
!
Modem Dimensions
Consider the size of the modem. Will the modem fit in the area where you want to perform the installation?

-
Heat - Placing the modem, antenna or cables near a heat source can cause
several problems, including radio interference. Select a location away from a
source of heat and make sure the modem has at least a 1-inch clearance on
all sides for cool air to circulate.
-
Wetness – The modem should not be mounted in an area where it could be
directly exposed to water.
Direct Sunlight – The modem should not be mounted in direct sunlight.
