1.2 Display Unit Installation

Mounting considerations

When selecting a mounting l ocation for the
display unit keep in mind the foll owing points.
• Locate the display unit in a position wher e
you can view and operate it conveniently.
• The orientation of the display unit should be
so the radar screen is viewed w hile the
operator is facing in the direct ion of the bow.
This makes determination of your p osition
much easier.
• The display unit is designed and constructed
to be splashproof, thus it can be i nstalled
outdoors. If it is to be installed outdoor s, we
recommend installing it an enclosed cabinet,
for maximum pr otection against the marine
environment.
• Even though the picture is quite leg ible even
in bright sunlight, keep the dis play 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 stabl e and
moderate. No LCD can provide adeq uate
contrast if the ambient temp erature 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 cab les behind the unit
for servicing or easy rem oval of the
connectors.
• The compass safe distance of 0.90 m eters
(standard compass) and 0.60 meter s
(steering compass) should b e observed to
prevent deviation of the mag netic compass.
