1.2 Processor Unit
Mounting considerations
When choosing a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
•
The processor unit must be mounted upright.
•
Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that can
build up inside the cabinet.
•
Do not locate the equipment where it may be subjected to water splash or rain.
•
Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit under the
continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If necessary reinforce the
mounting location.
•
Determine the mounting location considering the length of the cables below.
● Signal cable from the transceiver unit
● Monitor cable from the monitor
● Control cable from the control unit (when locally supplied monitor is used)
•
Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance. Also,
leave a foot or so of "service loop" in cables behind the unit so it can be pulled forward for
servicing or easy removal of connectors. See the outline drawing for recommended
maintenance space.
•
Observe the compass safe distances shown on page ii to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass.
•
Make free space of at least 40 cm between the processor unit and bulkhead to prevent
cable stress.
•
Prepare cable entrance ABOVE the unit. Consider cable bend with cable fixed by cable
clamp at rear of the unit.
