1. MOUNTING
1-13
1.4 Control Unit
The control unit may be mounted on a tabletop, with or without the KB fixing metal
(supplied), which mounts the control unit at an angle.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated conveniently.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between the
control unit and the processor unit. (The signal cable comes in lengths of 10 m).
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation of a
magnetic compass.
Fixing with KB fixing plate
1. Fix the KB fixing plate to the bottom of the control unit.
2. Attach cushions (three for RCU-014, two for RCU-015/016) to the bottom of the control
unit as shown below.
3. Fix it to a desired location with self-tapping screws (local supply).
