PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

When planning the location for your RAY430 to be installed, the following conditions should be
considered to insure dependable and trouble-free operation.
1) The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow easy operation of the front panel
and provide the best viewing angle of the display.
2) There should be adequate ventilation.
3) A sufficient space should be secured behind the unit to allow all cable connections to the rear
panel terminal strip.
4) The mounting place should be located as near to the power source as possible.
5) The selected location should be isolated away from devices that may cause offending noise or
interference, such as motors, steering cables and generators.
6) Generally speaking, the Loudhailer should be protected from prolonged direct exposure to
rain and salt spray. It is a good practice to protect this valuable equipment as much as pos-
sible.
The unit can be conveniently mounted on a chart table, bulkhead, overhead or any other desired
place. (Refer to Figure 2- 1 for typical locations and mounting configurations.)
