Processor unit
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
The processor unit must be mounted upright.
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.
Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the
unit under the continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If
necessary reinforce the mounting location.
Determine the mounting location considering the length of the cables below.
a) Signal cable from the transceiver unit
b) Monitor cable from the monitor
c) Control cable from the control unit (when locally supplied monitor is used)
Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate
maintenance. Also, leave a foot or so of "service loop" in cables behind the
unit so it can be pulled forward for servicing or easy removal of connectors.
Make free space of 400 mm between the processor unit and bulkhead to
prevent cable stress.
