3.2 Display Unit Installation

Mounting considerations
When choosing a mounting location for the
display unit, keep in mind the following points:
Keep the display unit out of direct sunlight.
The temperature and humidity should be
moderate and stable.
Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes
and vents.
The mounting location should be well
ventilated.
Mount the unit where shock and vibration
are minimal.

Keep the unit away from electromagnetic
field-generating equipment such as motors
and generators.
For maintenance and checking purposes,
leave sufficient space at the sides and rear
of the unit and leave slack in cables.
Separate the display unit from a magnetic
compass unit by the distances noted below
to prevent interference to the magnetic
compass:
Standard compass: 0.60 m
Steering compass: 0.40 m
Be sure the mounting location is strong
enough to support the weight of the unit
under the continued vibration normally
experienced on the boat.
Mounting
The display unit can be mounted on a
desktop, overhead or bulkhead, or flush
mounted in a console.
