1.3 Control Unit Furuno RCU-018
The control unit may be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal
(supplied), which mounts the control unit at an angle.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated conveniently.
• 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.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between the control
unit and the processor unit.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances specified at the start of this manual to prevent
deviation of a magnetic compass.
Fixing with KB fixing plate
1. Fix the KB fixing plate to the bottom of the control unit.
2. Attach three cushions to the bottom of the control unit.
3. Fix it to a desired location with self-tapping screws (local supply).
Fixing without KB fixing metal
1. Drill four mounting holes of 5 mm diameter referring to the outline drawing.
2. Fix the control unit with four screws (M4) from under side of the desktop. (The M4
screws with a sufficient length for the thickness of the desktop should be provided
locally.)
