3.2General Mounting Considerations

This equipment can perform its intended functions only if it is installed properly. Keep in mind the following when selecting a mounting location.

Water spray

The PP-505 is designed and constructed to be able to withstand the humidity and corrosive atmosphere common to the pilothouse, but it is not designed to be used outside, directly exposed to the environment. Salt water spray will most assuredly cause damage to the sensitive components inside.

Heat accumulation

The PP-505 consumes very little power, so there is no need for forced air ventilation. However, it is recommended to provide at least some space around the unit to allow for circulation of cooling air.

The unit should be kept out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet. Excessive heat can darken the thermal paper.

Onboard noise

To avoid mutual interference with other power equipment, do not install this unit near a power cable or equipment having a motor.

Mechanical shock and vibration

The PP-505 is constructed to withstand minor shocks and engine vibration, but excessive and continued shock can shorten the life of the precision printer mechanism. Shock may also degrade the print quality due to uneven contact between the printer head and the thermal paper.

Compass safe distance

A magnetic compass will be affected if the printer is placed too close to the compass. Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation to the compass.

Standard: 1.1 m

Steering: 0.8 m
