6-3 Mounting and removing the display unit

There are two mounting arrangements:
Flush mounting requires a solid panel
•
with access behind for wiring and mounting
screws. After flush mounting, the Explorer
443d/443df cannot be tilted or moved after
installation to reduce any unwanted glare or
reflections. Carefully select the best viewing
position before installation. This would
generally be in a shaded area.
Bracket mounting requires a panel for
•
mounting the bracket. Ensure that the panel
is not likely to deform and is not subject to
excessive vibration. The bracket can be tilted
and rotated and the Explorer 443d/443df can
be removed after each use.
