Desktop Installation

The Consolette may be placed on any solid, flat surface with easy access to the power source and
RF transmission line. Keep in mind the ventilation requirements as previously described in section
3.2, "Ventilation," on page
3.3.3

Wall Mounting

Ensure that the selected mounting surface is strong enough to support the Consolette weight of 19.5
lbs. Mark the location of the four mounting screws
the wall material. The maximum diameter of the screw and screw head should be 0.25 inches (6.5
mm) and 0.43 inches (11 mm), respectively. Allow the bottom surface of the screw head to protrude
0.3 inches (7.5 mm) from the wall surface.
The rack mount tray is used to wall mount the Consolette. Un-thread and retain the four feet from the
bottom of the Consolette chassis. Place the Consolette on the rack mount tray (HKN6233_), aligning
the four threaded studs with the slots in the bottom of the tray and sliding the unit forward fully so that
the front panel protrudes through the front opening of the tray. Thread the four feet back onto the
threaded studs protruding through the bottom of the tray and tighten to secure the Consolette. Hold
the Consolette and tray assembly with the front panel facing up and guide the slotted holes on the
bottom of the tray over the wall mounting screws.

Antenna Connections

The antenna and transmission lines are not part of the Consolette; therefore, antenna installation
instructions are not included in this section. Refer to the instructions shipped with the antenna for
applicable information.
In its primary application, the Consolette is used for communication with mobile radios. Therefore, an
omni-directional antenna is recommended. However, if the Consolette is located at the outer
perimeter of a communications area, or if it is to be used for communication with a fixed station, an
antenna with specific directional characteristics may be preferred. Local government agencies may
also dictate the type of antenna to be used.
The Consolette is intended for installation at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a
fixed unit; therefore, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to
ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards
and guidelines listed in the 6881095C99 manual:
