Installation of Main Unit and Printer

Mounting considerations
The main unit (NX-900) and printer (PP-900) can be installed on a tabletop, on the
overhead, or in a panel. Refer to the outline drawings at the back of this manual for
installation instructions.
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Select a location where the shock and vibration are minimal.
• Leave sufficient space for maintenance and service, referring to the outline draw-
ings at the back of this manual.
• 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.
Tabletop, overhead mounting
The main unit is shipped with a bracket. Follow the steps below to mount the main unit
on a desktop or overhead.
Note: For overhead mount, do NOT mount the unit higher than the operator's head.
1. Unfasten the knobs on either side of the main unit and detach the main unit from
the bracket.
Note: The bracket for the printer (PP-900) is supplied optionally. See the equip-
ment list on page viii.
2. Drill four holes for the self-tapping screws at the mounting location. Be sure to fol-
low the recommended maintenance space show in the outline drawing. Insuffi-
cient space may cause damage to connectors when disconnecting and
reconnecting them.
3. Fix the bracket to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (520, sup-
plied). The bracket should be oriented with the insertion slots facing forward.
4. Fit the unit to the bracket and tighten the knobs on either side evenly.
Adjust the angle of the unit so that the screen can be viewed clearly.
