Mounting - EMS TAM-242 Installation And Operating Manual

TAM-242/252/262 Installation and Operating Manual

For installations exposed to shock and/or vibration, use a mounting scheme that isolates
the unit from the excessive shock and/or vibration.

Choose a location that is not near other satellite communication equipment, and/or
microwave dishes to prevent RF jamming.

It is advisable to leave at least a 1 meter separation between the system and any other
communications devices.

Avoid mounting on a hot surface.

Mounting

Caution: The TAM-242 must be mounted so that the key switch and connector side of the TAM-242
is facing in the opposite direction to the direction of travel of the asset being tracked.
The mounting position should take into account the criteria defined in Location on page 6. If the
terminal is to be permanently fitted then all four mounting points must be use. The four mounting
points are M4 clearance holes on a 230.3mm x 161.3mm rectangle, with the enclosure overhanging
these fixings by around 10mm on all sides. Fit the adhesive pads to the face of each magnet to
protect against damage to the asset.
Caution: Do not over tighten the fixing points, doing so may cause damage to the TAM-242.
