2.5.2.1 Select Suitable Mounting Locations

To select a suitable mounting location, consider the following:

The Sensor should be installed on the uppermost point of the extendable device (mast).
If the D-TEC is being mounted with a satellite dish or antenna, the top of the Sensor
must be located 2-3 inches (50-76 mm) above the highest component of the dish or
antenna. When installing with a dish, the Sensor vent should face directly away from the
dish or antenna (Figure 2-5).


The Display should be installed inside the vehicle so that the alphanumeric display
screen is visible while operating the mast.

The mounting structures must have sufficient room to mount the system.

The mounting structures must be level in all directions, solid, and capable of holding the
forces required by the bolts. Check the strength and rigidity of the mounting structure
where the system is to be attached. Reinforce as necessary.

Cables will eventually need routed between components as follows (Figure 2-6):
o The Sensor, Display, Power Supply, and the Air Control Valve or Stiletto Control
(through a Terminal Block)
o The Display, Switches, and Speakers (through a Terminal Block)
o The 3-Way Mast Up/Down Switch to the Air Control Valve (Pneumatic
applications only)
o The Power Supply to the Air Control Valve or Stiletto Control
