Features Congratulations on your purchase of a DuraMON. This short form manual is designed to get you started working with your new DuraMON. The DuraMON series of monitors are all made as rugged monitors especially designed for the demanding operating conditions at sea. The DuraMON series are tested for full compliance to marine-standards IACS E10 and IEC 60945.
The DuraMON is designed to work at conditions according to IEC 60945. However, keeping the temperature and vibration level at a minimum will extend the life time of the product. ISIC recommend operating this product at normal room temperature (20-25 °C), with the lowest level of vibration and humidity.
