3.2 General Mounting
Considerations
This equipment can perform its intended
functions only if it is installed properly. Keep
in mind the following when selecting a
mounting location.
Water spray
The PP-505 is designed and constructed to
be able to withstand the humidity and
corrosive atmosphere common to the
pilothouse, but it is not designed to be used
outside, directly exposed to the environment.
Salt water spray will most assuredly cause
damage to the sensitive components inside.
Mechanical shock and vibration
The PP-505 is constructed to withstand minor
shocks and engine vibration, but excessive
and continued shock can shorten the life of
the precision printer mechanism. Shock may
also degrade the print quality due to uneven
contact between the printer head and the
thermal paper.
Heat accumulation
The PP-505 consumes very little power, so
there is no need for forced air ventilation.
However, it is recommended to provide at
least some space around the unit to allow for
circulation of cooling air.
The unit should be kept out of direct sunlight
because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet. Excessive heat can darken the
thermal paper.
Onboard noise
To avoid mutual interference with other power
equipment, do not install this unit near a
power cable or equipment having a motor.
Compass safe distance
A magnetic compass will be affected if the
printer is placed too close to the compass.
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent deviation to the
compass.
Standard: 1.1 m
Steering: 0.8 m
