Installation
DANGER
This equipment uses high
voltage electricity which
can shock, burn or cause
death.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.

3.1 Mounting the Display Unit

Siting considerations
• The display unit can be mounted on a table-
top, a bulkhead or on the overhead. Install
it where it can be viewed and operated con-
veniently, but where it is protected from
being sprayed or immersed in salt or fresh
water.
• Observe the following display unit com-
pass safe distances to prevent deviation of
the magnetic compass;

• The display unit should be oriented so that
you can view the screen while facing to-
wards the bow. This will make determina-
tion of your position easier.
• The mounting location must be strong
enough to support the display unit under
vibration conditions normally encountered
on the vessel. If necessary reinforce the
mounting location.
• Determine the mounting location consid-
ering the length of the signal cable, which
connects between the main radar and this
display unit.
• Make sure you allow enough clearance to
get to the connectors behind the unit. Leave
at least a foot or so of "service loop" in
cables so that it can be pulled forward for
servicing or easy removal of the connec-
tors.
Tabletop mounting
1) Unfasten the two M8 x 40 bolts at the front
of the display unit. Remove the fixing plate.
2) Mark screws locations in the tabletop by
using the fixing plate as a template. For
mounting by bolts and nuts, drill four
holes of 12 mm diameter in the tabletop.
3) Secure the fixing plate to the tabletop by
ø9 coach screws or M10 bolts, nuts and
washers.
4) Lay the display unit on the fixing plate. Se-
cure it with the two M8 x 40 bolts unfas-
tened in step 1.
