ECDIS Control Unit/Track Control Unit

The control units can be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal
(supplied), which mounts the control units at an angle. The control unit also can be
mounted in a console panel using the optional kit.
Note: The control unit RCU-024 can be used instead of the RCU-018 (for FEA-2xx7)
mounted in the connection stand (OP03-184 or OP26-20) using the option OP24-31.
Mounting considerations
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated conventionally.
• 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 for maintenance and service, referring to the outline draw-
ings at the back of this manual.
Note: The outline drawing number for the ECDIS control unit (RCU-024) is different
depending on the serial number, as shown below:
• "199999" or earlier: See "C4473-G02" to "C4473-G04".
• "200001" or later: See "C4473-G18" to "C4473-G20".
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between
the control 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 on page i to prevent com-
pass malfunction.
