1. MOUNTING
1.1 Network Sounder
Mounting considerations
The network sounder can be installed on the deck or on the bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location for the network sounder, keep the following in mind:
The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
The mounting location should be well ventilated.
Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors
and generators.
Leave slack in cables for maintenance and servicing ease.
A magnetic compass will be affected if the network sounder placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent
disturbance to the magnetic compass:
a) Standard compass: 0.80 meters
b) Steering compass: 0.55 meters
Mounting procedure
Fasten the network sounder to the mounting location with four tapping screws (4 x 16).
Note: Do not install the equipment where it may get wet from rain or water splash.
Waterproof level is IPX2 (IEC 60529).
