Cable Runs
2.7
Consider the following before installing the Display:-
2.7.1 All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and
protected from exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or
close to moving or hot objects.
2.7.2
Acute bends must be avoided.
2.7.3 Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight feed-
through should be used.
2.7.4 Make sure any excess cable is coiled and secured.
2.7.5
Do not run video cables near AC power sources or wires.
CAUTION:
Do not 'Pull' cables through the bulkheads, walls or tight spaces using a cord attached to the
connector. This could damage the connections.

Display Location
2.8.1 Viewing angle: This LCD panel has been chosen to give the very best performance,
including viewing angle. However, the contrast and colours seen on all LCD displays
vary slightly with viewing angle.
Note: Viewing an LCD panel from the bottom angle (outside specified display viewing
angle characteristic) is typically unacceptable.
2.8.2 Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connections
to the rear connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable. All connections are bottom
entry.
2.8.3 Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitter/receivers
(see the EMC guidelines section 2.9).
2.8.4 Magnetic compass: Mount the display unit at least 3 ft (1m) away from a magnetic
compass.
2.8.4 Environment: To prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the front or rear of
the display unit; ensure there is adequate ventilation.
