Planning
Mounting locations
H5000 CPU
The H5000 CPU should be installed in a dry place with easy
accessibility. The enclosure is water resistant to IP65 but will not
survive prolonged immersion. The engine box is NOT a good place
to install your instrument system processors; it is hot and electrically
noisy. The H5000 CPU does not contain orientation sensitive
components so it is NOT necessary to mount the unit vertically,
however it is recommended to orientate the unit with all cable exits
downwards.
Displays
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut.
Displays should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the
controls and clearly see the display screen. Ensure that the suncover
can be easily fi tted and removed. Be sure to leave a direct path for all
of the cables. B&G displays are high-contrast and anti-refl ective, and
are viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display
out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare
from windows or bright objects.
The enclosure that the display is mounted in should be dry and well
ventilated. The ventilation of the space behind the unit should be
enough to prevent excessive heat build up as a combined result of
radiated heat off the heat sink, and sunlight heating of the enclosure.
In very small enclosures, also subject to heating from the sun, it may
be required to fi t forced cooling.
 Note:
Graphic Displays should be located or mounted in such a way
as to retain access to the service port on the rear of the unit.
H5000 Pilot Controller
The H5000 Pilot Controllers should be mounted with special regard
to the units’ environmental protection, temperature range and cable
length.
 Note:
If installed outdoors, select a position and a mounting
option that prevents water from remaining on the display. It is
recommended to cover the units with their suncover when not in use.
