RESPA Advisor+ FAQ: Installation Questions
Questions and Answers
Q: Where do you recommend mounting the RESPA Advisor+ monitor?
A: Sy-Klone recommends the monitor be installed within the operator’s line of sight and reach, as to conveniently interact with the touch screen. The monitor should be a minimum of 12 inches (30.48 cm) from the operator’s face, allowing the monitor to be away from the operator’s direct breathing pattern (so that CO2 is representative of the overall cab environment). Additionally, Sy-Klone recommends the monitor be mounted outside of the direct airflow from the air vents.
Q: Is it ok to mount the RESPA Advisor+ monitor on glass?
A: Yes, this is a common mounting location, as long as it is within any safety guidelines on the job site. Use double-sided adhesive or foam tape to install the monitor on glass.
Q: Where do you recommend mounting the Ambient Pressure Sensor (APS)?
A: The APS must be mounted on the cab’s exterior. Sy-Klone recommends it be mounted vertically, with the wire-side down, in a non-pressurized, protected area, such as the exterior rear wall of the cab, where it will not be impacted by dirt or exposed to wind, rain, excessive moisture, or direct airflow during machine operation. Additionally, Sy-Klone recommends a maximum distance of 15 feet (4.57 m) between the APS and monitor.
Q: I already have a RESPA® CF2 installed on the outside of the cab. How can I simplify the mounting and wiring for the Ambient Pressure Sensor (APS)?
A: Sy-Klone offers an APS mounting kit (Part # RASK5901) that attaches to the RESPA CF2 mount. This kit also includes a wiring harness which allows the RESPA CF2 and RESPA Advisor+ to be powered using the same fused connection.
Q: Why is the power cable so large?
A: The power cable includes multiple wires and is heavily shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) that could cause the RESPA Advisor+, or other electronics on the machine, to operate incorrectly.
Q: How long is the power cable and how can it be lengthened?
A: The power cable is 6 feet (1.83 m). It can be lengthened another 10-15 feet (3.05-4.57 m), as needed, with a RCF2915 wiring kit. We recommend a maximum distance of 15 feet (4.57 m) between the APS and monitor.
