Installation
The Touring Edition ships with a rear-mounted hanging bracket which will accept a ½”
(12.5mm) bolt, and is intended to be suspended using a standard C-Clamp or similar pipe
hanger. A separate anchor point is provided for a secondary safety. The hanging bracket
may be rotated in 90 degree increments.
The TE has an IP54 enclosure rating when mounted so that the cable connections
point straight down.
