1.3 Control Unit

Mounting considerations

The control unit may be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal (supplied) which mounts the control unit at an angle. When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the fol- lowing points:

•Select a location where the control unit can be operated conveniently while observing the dis- play screen.

•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. (A 10 m signal cable is attached to the control unit.)

•A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to it. Observe the com- pass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
