MOUNTING
1.1 General Mounting and Handling Considerations
• Be sure the power supply matches equipment voltage rating. Improper power supply will
damage the equipment.
• Locate the transducer where the affects of noise and air bubbles are minimal. Noise and air
bubbles will affect performance.
• When selecting a mounting location keep the following points in mind:
• Keep equipment out of direct sunlight.
• Keep equipment away from air conditioner.
• The useable temperature range of the display unit is 0
°
–50
°
C.
• Provide sufficient ventilation.
• Select location where vibration is minimal.
• Locate the equipment away from magnets and magnetic materials.
• Keep the transducer away from oil. Oil can corrode the cable.
• Do not expose the transducer to hot water. Hot water can damage the transducer.
• Do not turn on the equipment with the transducer exposed to air. Exposing the transducer to
air may damage it.
• Magnetic compass performance will be affected if it is placed too close the display unit.
Observe the compass safe distances shown below to prevent deviation of a magnetic com-
pass.
