Mounting

Your Raven 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 tempera‐
tures. 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 Raven 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 Raven can withstand.
