5) Volume Setting
To set the volume levels for the MCS-8, follow the following procedure:
5.1) Left volume knob is for Mic in and increases volume in a clockwise direction
5.2) Right volume knob is for Radio re-broadcast and increases the volume in a clockwise direction.
5.3) Knobs can be removed once volume has been set to prevent tampering.
5.4) Knobs are on the same side as the CAN and LIN Bus connectors.
6) Installation Requirements
6.1) Both the Bank A and Bank B Supply lines MUST be protected by a fuse, rated 40 Amp or less,
preferably at (or near to) the battery terminal.
6.2) If the primary sense input is used, the input MUST be protected by a fuse, rated 20A or less,
preferably at (or near to) the primary battery terminal.
6.3) DO NOT obstruct fan vents along the top, side or under surfaces of the MCS-8. Do not install
any equipment on top or underneath the MCS-8.
The above installation requirement must be followed for safe operating and extended product
lifetime
