3.0 Installing the Recorder

3.1 Positioning the R Version

The R version of the Transcan recorder is designed to be mounted
within the cab of a vehicle in a DIN size radio slot. If such a slot is
available then it should be used, otherwise an alternative mounting
position must be chosen.
Ensure that the position chosen allows the driver to see the display
and operate the keyboard. In addition it must be remembered that
access to the printer drawer is required to replace the paper roll
and this requires clearance above the recorder. It should be noted
that installations must be in accordance with the current Use and
Construction Regulations for the vehicle concerned. These normally
forbid fitting the recorder to the top surface of the vehicle dashboard,
where to do so could partially obstruct the drivers view through the
vehicle windscreen.

3.1.1 Mounting in a Radio Slot

The recorder is retained in the mounting cage by spring locking
plates fitted to each side. Once fitted into the cage, the removal
procedure is to insert the keys provided into the keyways at each side
of the front face of the recorder to release the locks. This should be
attempted before fitting the cage into the facia as it requires some
practise.
If necessary cut an appropriate slot for the mounting cage in the
dashboard. Then fix the mounting cage by inserting it into the slot
and bending the fixing blades to secure it in the dashboard. Slide the
recorder into the cage until it locks into position.

3.1.2 Mounting Under the Dashboard

Fit the mounting cage to the mounting enclosure as described above.
Then fix this enclosure to the underside of the dash board using the
fixing plugs and screws provided, using the enclosure angle plates
under the screws. Finally, slide the recorder into the cage until it locks
into position. See figure 3.1 for details.

3.2 Positioning the C Version

Select a suitable flat surface inside the drivers cab which allows
access to the recorder display and controls.
Fix the recorder mounting enclosure to the surface using the screws
provided and snap out the required number of cable entry points.
Feed the cables through the cable entry holes created and secure the
cables to the anchor points inside the mounting enclosure with the
fixings provided.

3.3 Positioning the T Version

Select a suitable flat surface on the front outside bulkhead of the
trailer or vehicle on which to install the recorder enclosure. This is
normally on the vehicle's off-side in a position where the driver will
be able to readily open the enclosure door, view the display and reach
the operating keys. Take special care with trailer installations and
ensure that the location will be accessible even when the tractor unit
is connected.
