As shown on the next page, the rack console is normally installed on the bridge.
Install the rack console where the equipment can be easily operated, checked and serviced. Con-
sult with shipyard personnel and ship's officer-in-charge to determine best location. The location
must satisfy the following points:
• Consider relation to other equipment near mounting site and mounting direction.
• Select a location where controls can be easily operated.
• Ample space should be left at the sides of the equipment to enable servicing and to provide
ventilation.
• Select a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Locate the console away from water splash and rain.
• The temperature and humidity of the location should be both stable and moderate.
• If the rack console is to be installed in the radio room, the units shown below must be installed
on the bridge.
Distress Alert/Received Call Unit IC-305
Alarm Unit IC-306
SSAS Alert Unit IC-307
Control Unit FS-2571C/2575C
EGC Printer PP-505
• The performance of a magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the rack con-
sole. Separate the rack console from a compass by the distances shown on page i to prevent
compass error.
As for mounting the antenna coupler and antenna units, refer to the respective Installation Manu-
als.
