Step 3: Install the Course Computer

Unsuitable locations

WARNING:

The course computer is NOT designed to be mounted in engine compartments.

Do NOT install the course computer:

where there might be flammable vapors (such as in an engine room or compartment, or in a fuel tank bay)

where there is water splash or spray from bilges or hatches

where it is at risk from physical damage from heavy items (such as hatch covers, tool boxes, etc.)

where it might be covered by other equipment

Orientation

CAUTION:

You MUST mount the course computer so it is level and within +/- 10° of the vertical.

The Type 150G and Type 400G course computers contain a built-in GyroPlus yaw sensor that will NOT work correctly if you mount the computer in any other orientation. This orientation also maximizes the air flow to cool the course computer and provides optimum resistance to dripping water.

Step 3

Note: Type 150G and Type 400G course computers are supplied with a temporary ‘Mount vertically’ label stuck to the case. Remove this label after installation.
