Mount PLICSRADIO at the minimum height from the ground, or from
the highest obstacle that touches the Fresnel zone, as indicated in
the table; use a mast if necessary. With the 2.4 GHz standard model,
an optional external antenna with a 3 meter cable is available to allow
mounting at the required height.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This ap-
plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where
high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on
cooled or heated vessels.
