Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop, on the overhead, or in a panel (optional flush
mounting kit required). Refer to the outline drawings at the end of this manual for installation
instructions. When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
The unit is waterproof thus it can be installed outdoors. However, locate it of direct sunlight, (or
in a suitable, ventilated enclosure) to prevent heat which can build up inside the cabinet.
The mounting location should be well ventilated.
Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
Allow sufficient maintenance space at the sides and rear of the unit and leave sufficient slack
in cables, to facilitate maintenance and servicing.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass;
Standard compass, 0.5 m, Steering compass, 0.3 m.
