Control Unit

The control units can be installed on a desktop or flush mounted in a console.
Installation considerations
Keep in mind the following points when selecting a location.
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated easily.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• Determine the location considering the length of the signal cable between the con-
trol unit and the processor unit.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS to prevent interference to the compass.
