LMU-4200™ Hardware and Installation Guide 2 Installing the LMU The installation of the LMU and its antennas can have a major impact on the LMU’s performance. It is recommended that installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a vehicle environment. -
Page 14: Plan The Installation
LMU-4200™ Hardware and Installation Guide Plan The Installation Verify Power, Ground and Ignition. Be sure to check each source (power, ground and ignition) to ensure that the proper signaling exists. This is typically accomplished with a multi-meter. Before drilling any holes or running any wires, decide where each hardware component will be located (LMU, antennas, peripherals, etc.). -
Page 15: Placement Of Antennas
LMU-4200™ Hardware and Installation Guide 2.2.2 Placement of Antennas There are effectively three options for placements of an antenna: Roof-mount (magnetic or thru-hole) Glass-mount Covert (e.g. under the seat, dash, etc…) 2.2.3 Comm Antenna Placement Guidelines The Comm. Antenna must be located at least 20cm away from vehicle passengers, other personnel, or bystanders in order to comply with FCC radio frequency exposure limits. -
