1.8 Switching HUB HUB-100 (option)
Use the optional Switching HUB HUB-100 to connect sensor networks. This network
cannot be connected with the LAN network on board. Note that a commercial PC can-
not be connected in this network, other than for the maintenance. The total length of
all cables connected to the hub is 6 m.
For the mounting procedures, see the operator’s manual for HUB-100 (Pub. No.OMC-
35191).
Mounting considerations
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the adapter away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside
the cabinet.
• The vibration should be minimal.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make sure that the ground wire is connected between the earth terminal on chassis
and the ship’s earth.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the adapter is placed too close to the mag-
netic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to
prevent compass malfunctions.
