1.2 Transceiver Unit
Installation considerations
Keep in mind the following points when selecting a location.
• 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 location considering the length of the cable between the transceiver
unit and the antenna unit and the cable between the transceiver unit and the power
supply unit.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the transceiver unit is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS to prevent interference to the compass.
• Be sure to connect the ground wire (between the earth terminal on the chassis and
the ship’s earth).
How to mount the transceiver unit
Fix the unit to the mounting location with M6 bolts or
φ
6 coach screws. See the outline
drawing for mounting dimensions.

tions.
