Mounting considerations
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
• Select an installation location that is well ventilated.
• Locate the unit away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables to be connected to
the unit.
• Select a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
• Referring to the outline drawings at the back of this manual, allow sufficient space
for maintenance and service.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to prevent
interference to a magnetic compass.
• For the bulkhead installations, secure the unit so that the cable entrance faces
downward.
