1. MOUNTING
1-8
1.2 Monitor Unit
To mount the monitor unit, see the operator’s manual for MU-231 (OMC-44690).
1.3 Radar Control Unit/Trackball Control Unit
The control units can be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal
(supplied), which mounts the control units at an angle. The control unit also can be
mounted in a console panel using the optional kit.
Note: The control unit RCU-025 can be used instead of the RCU-020 (for FAR-2xx7)
mounted in the connection stand (OP03-184 or OP26-20) using the option OP24-31.
Mounting consideration
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated conventionally.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between
the control unit and the processor unit.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page i to prevent com-
pass malfunction.
• Make sure that the ground wire
is connected between the earth
terminal on the chassis and the
ship’s earth.
• Fasten the USB cable with the
cable tie.
