If you disconnect the RCT cable
for storage, install the protective cap
on the RCT connector to safeguard
connector pins.
If you're using the RCT remotely,
carry it in its mesh case. The case

Out for
Your
Sentinel
RCT
The RCT is usually damaged by not being stowed
properly before movement or for storage. Since the RCT
costs close to $50,000, you won't be popular in your unit
if it's damaged because of your carelessness.
Any time you're not
operating the Sentinel,
keep the RCT in its locked,
padded storage compart-
ment. Make sure the two
latches for the compart-
ment's access cover are
latched. If the cover is not
secured with the latches,
the cover will bounce
around during travel and
damage the screen. During
storage, a loose cover may
not seal out water and dirt.
