1.1.1

Display unit

The display unit can be installed on a desktop or flush mounted in a console. Do not
install the unit on the overhead or a bulkhead. Select a suitable location for the unit
considering the following points:
• Select a location where the controls can be easily operated.
• Locate the unit away from the direct wind from air conditioners.
• The temperature range in the mounting location should be -15°C to 55°C (5°F to
55°F).
• Locate the unit away from devices that emit active gas.
• The mounting location must be well ventilated.
• Select a location where vibration and shock are minimal.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the
compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the safety instructions to prevent
interference to the compass.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight to prevent heat build up inside the cabinet
and condensation in the display.
• Keep the unit away from water and water splash. (The unit complies with the follow-
ing waterproofing specifications. Front: IP55; Rear: IP22.)
CAUTION
Do not use paint, anti-corrosion products,
contact spray or other items containing or-
ganic solvents on the equipment.
Organic solvents can harm paint and plastic,
particularly the connectors.
