Switching Hub (option)

Use the HUB-100 to connect sensor networks. This network cannot be connected to
the shipborne LAN network. Further do not connect a commercial PC to this network,
other than for the maintenance.
For the installation procedures, see the operator's manual for HUB-100 (Pub.
No.OMC-35191).
Installation considerations
Keep in mind the following points when selecting a location.
• Locate the hub away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet.
• Select a location where the vibration is minimal.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make sure that the ground wire is connected between the earth terminal on the hub
and the ship's earth.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the hub is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to
prevent compass malfunctions.
