Mounting

Your PinPoint‐E should be mounted in a position that allows 
easy access for the cables so they are not bent, constricted, in 
close proximity to high amperage, or exposed to extreme 
temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible 
for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that 
there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is kept 
free from direct exposure to the elements, such as sun, rain, 
dust, etc.

In a mobile location, such as a car or truck, ensure the location 
is secure both against abrupt movements of the vehicle and 
from other items coming into contact with the modem.

Caution: The PinPoint-E is in a hardened case and designed for use
in industrial and extreme environments. However, unless you are
using cables expressly designed for such environments, they can fail
if exposed to the same conditions the PinPoint-E can withstand.
