2.2 Mounting the M10 Unit
The following guidelines should be noted when selecting the environment
to install your McMurdo Smartfind M10:

Do not install the M10 AIS transponder in a flammable or hazardous
atmosphere such as in an engine or generator room or close to fuel
tanks.

Installation of the transponder should be undertaken in a safe
environment without being exposed to any splashing from water or
rain.

There should be adequate space around the AIS transponder for
routing of cables. See figure below for details of the AIS transponder
dimensions.

The safe distance of the transponder to any magnetic compass is at
least 0.55m.

The operating temperature for the unit is between -15°C and +55°C.

The AIS transponder should be installed and mounted on a flat
surface, or it can be mounted on a wall with the four self tapping
screws supplied.

The device should be mounted in a location where the indicators can
readily be observed as these indicators deliver relevant information
on the status of the AIS transponder.
