The distance to the nearest power outlet is restricted by the length of the power cable. If
required, you may need to move the power outlet, or replace the power cable with a longer
type.
Note
The Transceiver Unit is heavy. Make sure that the necessary manpower and lifting
equipment are available before you start the installation work.
The Transceiver Unit must be mounted as a complete unit. The cabinet door must not be
opened until the unit is securely fastened to the bulkhead.
Procedure
1 Prepare the location and the necessary tools.
2 Observe the installation requirements.
• The Transceiver Unit must be mounted on the bulkhead.
• The position must be chosen to fit the available cable lengths between the transceiver
and the other units it connects to.
• Provide ample space around the unit to allow for inspection, maintenance and parts
replacement.
• Make sure that the space allows the unit door to be fully dismounted for unobstructed
access to its internal parts.
• Make sure that the installation does not cause problems with existing cabling,
ventilation ducts, piping, etc. Both sides of the bulkhead must be free.
• Make sure that enough space is made available for maintenance purposes.
• Make sure that adequate ventilation is available to avoid overheating.
• Make sure that the installation method allows for the physical vibration, movements
and forces normally experienced on a vessel.
3 Make sure that the chosen location meets the installation requirements.
4 Remove the two mounting brackets which are fastened to the shock absorbers on the
Transceiver Unit.
An Allen key is provided for this purpose. It is located in the plastic bag fastened to
the upper shock absorber.
5 Weld the mounting brackets securely to the bulkhead as shown in the illustrations.
6 Use a chain fall or similar device to lift the Transceiver Unit into position.
7 Bolt the cabinet to the mounting brackets.
Eight bolts are provided for this purpose.
