4.1 Display 

a.  

General. Display should be mounted in accordance with platform-specific ship 
installation drawings (SIDs) for shipboard installation or BOATALT GEN47B 
drawings for RHIB/LCPL installation. For ship installations, the display is typically 
mounted near the conning officer’s station. On a ship’s small boat, the display is 
mounted on the console.

b.  

Mounting the DF Display. Display bracket should be installed IAW SIDs or 
BOATALT drawings. If installing on a RHIB or LCPL, see section 4.1.c. for 
attaching the DF display hood.

  (1)  Mate display to display bracket and attach using M4 fasteners, lock washers 

and threadlock provided with the display.

  (2)  Attach power and data cables to the display. If the display will be installed 

on a RHIB or LCPL, waterproof DB9 connectors with extended length gaskets 
must be installed on the data and power cables. If replacing a DF-100 with a 
DF-101 direction finder, replace the standard length gasket with the extended 
length gasket provided. See figure 6. Please refer to electrical specifications in 
Section 9.0, DF-101 Specifications, for connector requirements, cable pin-out 
information and power & grounding requirements. 

WARNING: Ensure power cable leads are connected correctly. Failure to do so 

could result in DF display failure and will void warranty
