Carefully remove the S-LX system from its packaging
The system shall already be mounted on supplied loose, with DIN rail, or attached to a 19 inch rack shelf
Antenna and accessory cables will be packed separately.
Mount the DIN rail in the desired location, or move the DIN rail mounted equipment onto an alternative rail.
Fit the S-LX and HZS devices onto the DIN rail. The S-LX device uses a sliding plastic clip. The HZS device, a sprung steel clip.
The DIN rail may be cut to size. If doing so ensure that all sharp edges are deburred.
When supplied in a 19 inch rack, install the rack into an appropriate cabinet.

Antenna and antenna cable are supplied separately.
Mount the antenna external to the building
Never mount antenna inside an equipment enclosure or building
The antenna must be placed a minimum of 3 meters from sensitive electronic signalling equipment such as SSI.
The antenna features a magnetic mounting base. If this is not suitable, contact MPEC to discuss alternate mounting arrangements.
The antenna is to be mounted upright, with the “whip” element pointing skyward.
Ideally the antenna shall be placed clear of large structures and earthworks.
Bear in mind during placement that the antenna may need relocating during commissioning if inadequate signal strength is available.
A minimum12 minimum 12 mm circular aperture is required to route the antenna cable into the building / enclosure.
If the building or enclosure structure must be pierced to run the antenna cable, ensure this is done in a responsible manner using appropriate tools. Any new openings must be appropriately sealed against moisture ingress and rodent attack.
route the antenna cable using appropriate cable management from antenna to SLX device.
Avoid sharp radius bends and never bend the antenna cable tighter than a 13mm radius.
Avoid running the antenna cable directly parallel and close to sensitive digital signal cables, such as SSI data links.
Do not attempt to shorten or lengthen the cable unless competent to do so and in possession of the appropriate tools and connectors.
MPEC offer a range of antenna cable lengths, so please contact MPEC if the standard 5m cable is inappropriate.
Hand tighten the hexagonal SMA connector to terminal W1 of the S-LX compute module. Do not use tools to over-tighten.
Hand tighten the round TNC connector to the antenna base. Do not use tools to over-tighten.
