Monitor Unit

The monitor unit can be flush mounted in a console panel, or mounted on a desktop using
the optional accessories.
Note: FAR-2117-BB/2127-BB have no monitor unit. Prepare a suitable monitor locally.
Recommended monitor: SXGA (1280x1024), aspect ratio 5:4
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the display unit can be viewed conveniently and where the
screen can be viewed while facing towards the bow.
• The optimal viewing distances for the radar display units are: MU-170C: 920 mm,
MU-201CR: 1080 mm, MU-231CR: 1200 mm. Select a suitable mounting location
considering the applicable distance.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that
can build up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the monitor unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation of a
magnetic compass.
