2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information and instructions for installing your C-Series
Display
You may find that your system does not use all the protocols or contain all of the
instrumentation that is described.
For full functionality of the displays the following position and heading data is
required:
• Orientation - heading data is required for the radar to operate in North Up or Head
Up mode and the chart to operate in Course Up and head Up modes.
• Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data,. Alternatively, Speed
over ground (SOG) and Course over Ground (COG) derived from the same source as
position data will enable this function.
• Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart overlay functions
require accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is provided if SOG and COG
are also available.
• Position data is required for full functionality of the chart display.

Selecting the display unit location

Your C-Series display can be mounted using the mounting bracket supplied, or
console mounted using the optional flush-mounting kit.
Before you install the display, plan its installation, considering:
• Convenience: The contrast and colors seen on all Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)
vary slightly with viewing angle and are best viewed perpendicular to the display.
The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front
panel controls.
• Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connec-
tions to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.
• Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receiv-
ers (see EMC Guidelines).
