Inspection
Inspect the shipping cartons and/or wooden box immediately upon receipt for evidence of damage during
transport. If the shipping material is severely damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent be
present when opening the cartons and/or wooden box. Save all box packing material for future use.
After unpacking the system and opening the cartons, inspect it thoroughly for hidden damage and loose
components or fittings. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the
system does not work properly, notify your dealer.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, do not apply power to the LT-1000 NRU if there is any sign of shipping
damage to any part of the unit or the outer cover. Read the Safety Instructions at the front of
this manual before installing or operating the unit.
Mounting and installation considerations
For optimum system performance, some guidelines on where to install or mount the LT-1000 NRU must be
followed. It is recommended to mount the unit in a location, with as much free line of sight as possible,
while making sure that the support structure fulfills the requirements for pole or roof mount installation:
·
Mount the unit horizontally
·
Mount the unit with free line of sight to GNSS satellites. If the Roof Mount is used for below deck
installation, make sure that the unit is capable of receiving signals from the GNSS satellites
·
Mount the unit on a rigid structure with a minimum of exposure to vibration and shock
·
Mount the unit so that direct spray from seawater is avoided
·
Mount the unit so that ventilation through the pole mount is possible
·
Mount the unit in an area with an ambient temperature between -40°C and +55°C (-40°F to +131°F)
·
Mount the unit away from possible magnetic disturbances (e.g. loudspeakers) and power cables
·
Mount the unit at least 1 m. (3 ft.) away from radio transmitting antennas (VHF, UHF, MF-HF,
Inmarsat, Iridium, Transmitting VSAT, etc.)
·
Mount the unit at least 50 cm. (20”) away from the following: Engines, generators, steel fuel and
water tanks, bilge pump, anchor, anchor chain, and iron mast support
·
Mount the unit with a minimum angle of 20 degrees towards a radar antenna (above or below).
·
Mount the unit as close as possible to the ship’s center of gravity and center line
IMPORTANT: The pinol screw used for fastening the pole mount shall not exceed 0.8 NM (0.6 lbf-ft).
