Wall Bracket Installation - mcmurdo E3 Owner's Manual

6. WALL BRACKET INSTALLATION

6.1 Siting
The wall bracket should ideally be sited in plain view near an emergency exit. When
choosing a suitable mounting position you should also consider...
• Ease of access in an emergency.
• Mount at least 1 metre (3') from any compass equipment.
• Allow at least 25mm (1") above the bracket for it to spring open.
• Allow 18cm (7") for the antenna. Heavy bending of the antenna is bad.
6.2 Mounting procedure
The wall bracket is supplied with a set of stainless steel fixings 25mm (1") in length.
The bracket mounts against a flat surface using 4 fixing points. Offer the bracket
into the chosen position and mark through the mounting slots. If you are using the
nuts and bolts supplied, drill 6mm (1/4") holes in the centre of each mark. You will
need a 4mm Allen key to tighten the bolts. If the rear of the mounting surface is
inaccessible then use the self-tapping screws supplied and drill 3mm (1/8") holes.
Always fit washers under the heads of the screws to avoid damage to the plastic.
