1.2.1 Installation considerations
Follow the points below to select an installation location.
• Mount the unit upright.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat
that can build up inside the unit.
• Install the unit away from areas subject to water splash or rain.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit un-
der the continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If necessary
reinforce the mounting location.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of these cables: - Signal ca-
ble from the transceiver unit - control cable from the control Unit
• Leave sufficient space on the sides of the unit to facilitate maintenance. Also, leave
a foot or so of "service loop" in cables for servicing or easy removal of connectors.
See the outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
• Follow the compass safe distances in the Safety Instructions to prevent interference
to a magnetic compass.
