Switching Hub HUB-100 (option)

Use the optional Switching Hub HUB-100 to connect sensor networks. This network
cannot be connected to the shipborne LAN network. Further do not connect a com-
mercial 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.
• The vibration must be 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 chassis
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 adapter is placed too close to the mag-
netic compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS to prevent compass malfunction.
