Installation of interface

The interface should be positioned so that it is easily
accessible and such that the cable connecting the
interface to the receiver is not more than 100m long.
The use of multi-core cable for connecting two or more
receivers is not permitted. Care should be taken that
this cable is routed away from building electrical cables
