MOUNTING
1.1 Display Unit
Mounting considerations
The display unit is designed to be mounted on a desktop. When selecting a mounting
location for the display unit keep in mind the following points.
• Locate the unit where it can be easily operated and the screen viewed while looking
over the bow.
• 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.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit under
the continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If necessary rein-
force the mounting location.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance. Also,
leave a foot or so of “service loop” in cables behind the unit so it can be pulled forward
for servicing or easy removal of connectors.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the display unit. Observe the
following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass: Stan-
dard compass, 1.1 m, Steering compass, 0.8 m.
Procedure
1. Unfasten two bolts (M8X40) at the front of the display unit. Remove the mounting plate.
