Procedure

Refer to the figure below for parts locations.

1.Raise the monitor and fix it with the stay. (See page 1-5 for instructions.)

2.Unfasten four screws to dismount the shield cover for the INT Board.

3.Fasten the ALARM Board to the display unit with four pan-head screws (M3X8, supplied).

4.Connect the NH connector (9-9P, supplied) between J471 on the ALARM Board and J451 (EXT-BUZ) on the INT Board, passing it through the cable band and binding it with existing cable tie.

5.Fasten the cable band (supplied) with a pan-head screw (M4X12, supplied) and attach two cable ties (CV-100, supplied).

6.Connect an NH connector (3P, supplied) to each of J472, J473, J474 and J475 on the ALARM Board.

7.Route the NH connectors along the cables ties and pass them through the cable clamp. Fasten the shield cover removed at step 1.

8.Close the INT board cover.

9.Close the monitor.

10.Connect NH connectors to ship’s bridge alarm system: J472: ARPA guard zone; target alarm
