3.2 Display Unit Installation
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location for the
display unit keep in mind the following points:
•
Keep the display unit out of direct
sunlight.
•
The temperature and humidity should be
moderate and stable.
•
Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes
and vents.
•
The mounting location should be well
ventilated.
•
Mount the unit where shock and vibration
are minimal.
•
Keep the unit away from electromagnetic
field-generating equipment such as
motors and generators.
•
For maintenance and checking purposes,
leave sufficient space at the sides and
rear of the unit and leave slack in cables.
•
Separate the display unit from a magnetic
compass unit by the distances noted
below to prevent interference to the
magnetic compass:
Standard compass: 0.5 m
Steering compass: 0.3 m
•
Be sure the mounting location is strong
enough to support the weight of the unit
under the continued vibration normally
experienced on the boat.
Mounting
The display unit can be mounted on a
desktop or overhead or flush mounted in a
console.
