2.4 Mechanical installation

The sat-nms PowerSensor is designed to be mechanically mounted with it's RF input connector. For most setups this will be the most convenient method. However, there are some cases where it is recommended to fix the PowerSensor with a break at a solid surface:

• When operated in an vibrating environment, the sensor may resonate when fixed only with the input connector. This may result in a inadmissible severe vibration at the power sensor itself.
• When the sensor is connected to a SMA connector through an adapter, this connection easily may break as it is mechanically to strong enough not fix the sensor in safe manner.
