Keep in mind the following points when selecting an installation location.
• Select a location with good ventilation.
• Install the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Select a location considering the working and maintenance space for the installa-
tion.
• Use the supplied display hard cover when the system is not in use.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources.
• Observe the compass safe distance (standard: 0.50 m, steering: 0.35 m) to prevent
interference to a magnetic compass.
• Select a location where the flatness is less than 1 mm.
• The control unit can not be installed at the location where the bulkhead thickness is
more than 20 mm.
• As necessary, waterproof around the mounting hole after the installation to prevent
water entry.
