15.1Unit Installation
The NX2000 should be sited so that engine noise and vibration or other background
noises do not make it difficult for the operator to hear.
It is recommended not to install the unit where it will be exposed to continuous direct sunlight as this will eventually damage the LCD display.
As loudspeakers contain powerful magnets, the Radio should not be installed within 1m (3ft 3in) of any compasses, whether magnetic or electronic.
The fins on the back of the unit act as a heat sink to dissipate heat generated by the set when in use, which maintains the high efficiency of the Radio. The free circulation of air is essential - if the Radio is mounted in an enclosed space, please ensure the space is well ventilated
The NX2000 is supplied with a reversible mounting bracket. This can be used to mount the Radio on the chart table or on an overhead bulkhead (Fig A). Before installing, ensure that there is at least 100mm (4.0 in) vertical clearance and 70mm (2 3/4in) horizontal clearance behind the bracket to allow the Radio to fit (Fig B). The rake angle of the Radio can be adjusted by slackening the clamp.
