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).
