1. MOUNTING
1-6
1.2 Monitor Unit
The monitor unit can be flush mounted in a console panel, or mounted on a desktop using
the optional accessories. For MU-190/231, see the applicable Operator’s Manual(s).
Note: FAR-2117-BB/2127-BB have no monitor unit. Prepare a suitable monitor locally.
Recommended monitor: SXGA (1280x1024), aspect ratio 5:4
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the display unit can be viewed conveniently and where the
screen can be viewed while facing towards the bow.
• The optimal viewing distances for the radar display units are: MU-170C: 920 mm,
MU-201CR: 1080 mm, MU-231CR: 1200 mm. Select a suitable mounting location
considering the applicable distance.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that
can build up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the monitor unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation of a
magnetic compass.
Mounting procedure
Flush mounting
Follow the procedure below to mount the monitor unit in a console panel.
1. Make cutout in mounting location referring to the outline drawing shown below.
2. Insert the monitor unit to the hole and fix it with four tapping screws (6x30).
3. Attach panel hooks near the fixing holes (upper part). See next page. These are used to
pull out the monitor unit from a console panel for servicing.
4. Attach four panel covers to the fixing holes.
