Planning the Installation
Before you begin, consider the following MCP installation guidelines.
• Select an MCP mounting location in a dry, well-ventilated area
inside the vessel/vehicle away from any heat sources or salt spray.
• Be sure the MCP’s front panel will be easily accessible to the user.
The owner will use the MCP’s buttons to control the antenna.
• Be sure to leave enough room at the MCP’s rear panel for
connecting the cables (see Figure 2-2 for MCP dimensions).
Figure 2-2 MCP Dimensions
• Since the supplied main control cable and RF control cable are both
25 ft (7.6 m) long, the MCP must be located within 25 ft (7.6 m) of
the TracVision antenna’s switchplate, ADCU, or MCU. You will
need to connect the MCP using these special cables.
• The kitpack contains parts for mounting the MCP either to a
horizontal surface (using Velcro) or to a vertical surface (using the
supplied flush mount bracket).
