Installation
2.2.1
Bench system test
Prior to physically mounting the MetPak Base Station in its final location, we
strongly recommend that a bench system test is carried out to confirm the system
is configured correctly, is fully functional and electrically compatible with the
selected host system and cabling (preferably utilising the final cable length). The
required data format, units, output rate, and other options should also all be set up
at this stage.
