Mounting considerations

When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep in mind the following points.

Fixing plate

Mounting plate

Bracket (1)

•

Locate the display unit in a position where

 

you can view and operate it conveniently.

•

The orientation of the display unit should be

 

so the radar screen is viewed while the

 

operator is facing in the direction of the bow.

 

This makes determination of your position

 

much easier.

Support plate (1)

•

The display unit is designed and constructed

 

to be splashproof, thus it can be installed

 

outdoors. If it is to be installed outdoors, we

 

recommend installing it an enclosed cabinet,

 

for maximum protection against the marine

 

environment.

•

Even though the picture is quite legible even

 

in bright sunlight, keep the display unit out of

 

direct sunlight or at least shaded because of

 

heat that can build up inside the cabinet.

•

The temperature and humidity of the

 

mounting location should be stable and

 

moderate. No LCD can provide adequate

 

contrast if the ambient temperature is too low

 

or too high.

•

Make sure you allow enough clearance both

 

to get to the connectors behind the unit and

 

to allow you to get your hands in on both

 

sides to loosen or tighten the mounting

 

knobs. Make sure you leave at least a foot or

 

so of "service loop" in cables behind the unit

 

for servicing or easy removal of the

 

connectors.
