1.2 Monitor Unit
To mount the monitor unit, see the operator’s manual for MU-231 (OMC-44690).
1.3 Radar Control Unit/Trackball Control Unit
The control units can be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal
(supplied), which mounts the control units at an angle. The control unit also can be
mounted in a console panel using the optional kit.
Note: The control unit RCU-025 can be used instead of the RCU-020 (for FAR-2xx7)
mounted in the connection stand (OP03-184 or OP26-20) using the option OP24-31.
Mounting consideration
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
Select a location where the control unit can be operated conventionally.
Locate the unit 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 at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between
the control unit and the processor unit.
A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page i to prevent com-
pass malfunction.
Make sure that the ground wire
is connected between the earth
terminal on the chassis and the
ship’s earth.
Fasten the USB cable with the
cable tie.
