Basic requirements for the location of bridge units
The installation of the bridge units must be done by qualified and trained personnel. The
location of each physical unit must be decided with regard to basic installation requirements.
At the same time, necessary considerations must be made for efficient use and maintenance.
Safe navigation
The physical location of the unit must not in any way have a negative effect on the
navigation of the vessel. Observe the compass safe distance for each individual unit.
Operational requirements
The location of each unit must be based on the ergonomically correct operating and
viewing heights.
Cable lengths
Observe the maximum allowable cable lengths between the various units.
Environmental requirements
The location chosen for the installation must be dry, well ventilated and free of
excessive dust and vibration.
Maintenance access
Make sure that ample space is provided around each unit to allow for maintenance and
replacement of parts. Avoid sharp cable bends, especially close to cable connectors.
Each cable must be long enough to allow for maintenance and service without
disconnecting them.
