5.1 Selecting a display location

Warning: Potential ignition source
This product is NOT approved for use in
hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do NOT install in
a hazardous/flammable atmosphere (such as in an
engine room or near fuel tanks).
General location requirements
When selecting a location for the unit it is important to consider a
number of factors.
Ventilation requirements
To provide adequate airflow:
• Ensure that equipment is mounted in a compartment of suitable
size.
• Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.
• Ensure adequate separation of equipment.
Mounting surface requirements
Ensure units are adequately supported on a secure surface. Do
NOT mount units or cut holes in places which may damage the
structure of the vessel.
Cable routing requirements
Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows proper routing
and connection of cables:
• Minimum cable bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) is required unless
otherwise stated.
• Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors.
Water ingress
This unit is suitable for mounting both above and below decks. It is
waterproof to IPX6 standard. Although the unit is waterproof, it is
good practice to locate it in a protected area away from prolonged
and direct exposure to rain and salt spray.
Electrical interference
Select a location that is far enough away from devices that
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio
transmitters/receivers.
Magnetic compass
When choosing a suitable location you should aim to maintain the
maximum possible distance between the unit and any compasses.
To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic
compasses, ensure that a minimum distance of 230 mm (9 in)
between the unit and any installed compasses is maintained.
Viewing angle considerations
As display contrast, color and night mode performance are all
affected by the viewing angle, Raymarine recommends you
temporarily power up the display when planning the installation, to
enable you to best judge which location gives the optimum viewing
angle.
