1.2Display Unit Installation
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep in mind the following points.
•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.
•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.
•The compass safe distance of 0.90 meters (standard compass) and 0.60 meters (steering compass) should be observed to prevent deviation of the magnetic compass.
