The display unit can be installed on a desktop or flush mounted in a console. Do not
install the unit on the overhead or a bulkhead. Select a suitable location for the unit
considering the following points:

• Locate the unit away from the direct wind from air conditioners.
• The temperature range in the mounting location should be -15°C to 55°C (5°F to
55°F).
• Locate the unit away from devices that emit active gas.
• The mounting location must be well ventilated.
• Select a location where vibration and shock are minimal.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the
compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the safety instructions to prevent
interference to the compass.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight to prevent heat build up inside the cabinet
and condensation in the display.

ing waterproofing specifications. Front: IP55; Rear: IP22.)
