Mounting Considerations; Bulkhead Mount - Furuno SC-50S Operator's Manual

1.2 Mounting the Processor Unit
1.2.1

Mounting considerations

The processor unit should be mounted aligned with the ship's fore-and-aft line. It
can be mounted on the deck, bulkhead, or on the underside of a desk. When
choosing a mounting location keep the following points in mind.
• Choose a mounting location which allows you to easily view the power lamp
on the top of the unit and which is within ± 2.5° of the ship's fore-and-aft line.
• Choose a location where vibration and shock are minimal.
• Install the unit well away from locations subject to rain and water splash.
• Locate the unit away from air conditioner vents.
• Keep the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside its
cabinet.
• Choose a well-ventilated location.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit to permit access for maintenance. See
the outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
