Re: Rules: Velcroing Electronics

I would agree that Velcro is not a good choice for either the CRIO or the Power Distro. We have used it in the past for things like the Spikes and Victors but be advised is it good for a year or two after install but then the adhesive starts to dry out. Tywraps are an excellent choice but I don't think they will support the CRIO. I would expect that the inspection list will include a line item for secure mounting of the controller, the PD and the wireless access similar to the mounting for the main breaker and fuse panels in the past.
