DISPLAY UNIT
Mounting Considerations
The display unit can be mounted on a table-
top, a bulkhead or on the overhead. When se-
lecting a mounting location, keep in mind the
following points:
Select a location where the display unit can
be viewed and operated conveniently and
where the screen can be viewed while fac-
ing towards the bow.
Locate the equipment away from places
subject to water splash and rain.
The display unit weighs 13 kg. Be sure the
mounting location is strong enough to sup-
port the weight of the unit under the con-
tinued 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 connec-
tors.
A magnetic compass will be affected if
placed too close to the display unit. Ob-
serve the following compass safe distances
to prevent deviation of a magnetic com-
pass: Standard compass, 1.0 m, Steering
compass, 0.8 m.
Tabletop Mounting

display unit to dismount the mounting

2. Using the mounting base as a template

tion.
3. Fasten the mounting base to the tabletop
