1.2 Transceiver Unit
The transceiver unit can be installed on a deck.
Mounting Consideration
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points:
• The transceiver unit generates heat so the mounting location should be well venti-
lated and dry.
• Referring to the outline drawings at the back of this manual, allow sufficient space
for maintenance and service.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to prevent
interference to a magnetic compass.
• If the front panel of the unit is oriented to port, its motion sensor faces the bow, i.e.,
the arrow mark of the NOTE label on the transceiver unit orients to bow. After instal-
lation, compensate for installation angle error, referring to chapter 3.
Deck Mount
1. If necessary, install a channel base on the mounting location, consulting with the
shipyard.
Note: Take account of the direction of the transceiver unit. Position the transceiv-
er unit so that the left side faces the bow as viewed from the cover side.
2. Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location for mounting screws (M12, supplied
locally), referring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual.
3. Fasten the transceiver unit to the channel base with M12 bolts.
If necessary, reinforce the transceiver unit against vibration by stays extending
from the eyebolts.
