RCB-002. The RCB-002 must be connected via the Gateway Network.
Mounting considerations
Keep the following points in mind when selection a mounting location:
• Locate the RCB-002 away from heat sources. The cabinet can build up heat inside,
causing undue wear to electrical components.
• Take into account the length of the cables to connected to the RCB-002 when
choosing an installation location.
• The RCB-002 should be fixed firmly so that rough seas and vibrations do not cause
the unit to move in any manner.
• Locate the RCB-002 away from areas which may be subject to splash or rain.
• Referring to the outline diagrams at the back of this manual, leave sufficient space
at the rear of the RCB-002 to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the equipment is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual
to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
• Vibration at the mounting location should be minimum.
1. Referring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual, drill four holes (φ5×20)
in the mounting location.
2. Secure the RCB-002 firmly in place using φ5×20 tapping screws. Make sure the
RCB-002 is not subject to undue vibrations.
