case with a metal backbox and cover
plate. It is hi hly recommended to feed
the aerial out of any backbox as shown
ri ht.
The only connections required are those to the switched inputs and should be
made as shown below. Note: the RCI-7M is supplied with a 10-way socket and
crimped leads. Connections to the contacts should be no lon er than the supplied
leads.
