SITING THE ACP UNIT
• It is recommended that the ACP unit is mounted with the cable entry
points downwards. It must not be mounted with the cable entries
uppermost as water may run down the cables and into the unit.
• Ensure that there is sufficient space to allow the unit to be hinged
open to make connections to terminals inside, and that the hinges of
the two halves of the case may be slid apart.
• Select a position sheltered from the direct effects of the environment
and from physical damage.
• Do not mount the unit within 1m/3ft of engines, starter motors and
cables, and other cables carrying heavy current, etc., or 3m/10ft of
Radar or SSB installation cables.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
• Undo the two screws at the corner of the unit, and open fully.
• The hinges are designed to come apart. This enables the electronics
to be split from the base of the unit i.e. the connection and terminal
blocks.
• Disconnect the cables between the two halves of the casing.
• Firmly push the two halves of the computer unit apart.
• Using the base of the unit as a template, mark the positions of the
three mounting screw holes.
• Using the self-tapping screws provided secure the base of the unit in
position.
• Push the two halves of the unit together again and reconnect the
cables.
