Choosing the Best Location for the MCU
• The MCU should be mounted in a dry location,
allowing enough room at the back for connecting
system cables.
• The MCU should be placed so that the LCD
display is visible and the buttons are accessible to
the user.
• The MCU is not susceptible to magnetic
interference and does not need to be mounted on a
level surface.
