[DG] [DG11] Micro Talk Wireless Gateway Installation Location

[DuncanK]

Hi,

I'm seeking advice as to where to install Micro-Talk Wireless Gateway Puc (E70361) on a cruiser-racer sail boat.

According to the Micro-Talk Installation Instructions (04-2017) it is recommended to install above decks on a horizontal surface with LED arrow pointing towards the bow or stern of boat with a clear line of sight to Micronet products.

Our boat is a cruiser-racer (Beneteau 36.7) and she races in events. Installing the Puc on the deck surface would not be practical with the general racing foot-rush mayhem that ensues!

The Micro-Talk Wireless Gateway Puc will be used with the following wireless units;
1) Wind Vane (T120), mounted on masthead.
2) Maxi Displays (T215) x 2, mounted at mast below gooseneck.
3) Remote Control (T113), mobile unit at cockpit area.
4) Dual Display unit (T103), mounted at coachroof.

I'm aware of the following Micro-Talk Wireless Gateway mounting accessories;
Pole Mount Kit (A80370)
Deck Mounting Kit (A80437)

* Could you please advise if there is a typical/recommeded installation location for the Micro-Talk Wireless Gateway Puc for cruiser-racer sail boat and whether mounting accessories are needed?

Many thanks,
Duncan
