Trackball Control Unit (RCU-030)

The Trackball Control Unit (RCU-030) can be mounted on a desktop in two
configurations.
• Desktop with mounting plate (Standard installation)
• Flush mounted inside a console (Optional)
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep the following points in mind:
• Select a location where the unit can be operated conventionally.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources. The cabinet can build up heat inside,
causing undue wear to electrical components.
• Locate the unit away from areas which may be subject to water splash and rain.
• Referring to the outline diagrams at the back of this manual, leave sufficient space
around the equipment to facilitate maintenance.
• Consider the length of the signal cable and the distance between the unit and the
PCU. Leave enough slack in the cable to allow for maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the equipment is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual
to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
