Installing the display
A display is a required part of the MF90 system. For best readability, the display must be
protected from glare and have the correct height and angle. The display is normally not
included with the MF90 system delivery. A generic procedure is provided.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal
tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different screwdriver types,
pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool must be provided in various
sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment.
A suitable location for the display must be defined before installation. If you place the unit
on the bridge, observe the compass safe distance.
