2. - Mount Control Unit
2.1. - The Monitor I, II & III Control Unit standard enclosure (
not shown
) is not
a water resistant case so should be mounted in a dry environment;
Monitor Rugged enclosure (
shown
) is designed to cope with wet boats but
the driest position is preferable, the Rugged enclosure should be mounted
with the glands at the bottom
to ensure maximum water
resistance. For all versions
ensure that enough space is left
around the unit for cable
routeing and future removal and
refitting of the control box lid for
maintenance tasks.
2.2. - The design of the Rugged
control unit enclosure is such
that it can be screwed to the
mounting area without puncturing the ‘sealed’ part of the unit. The
fixing holes are in each of the 4 corners adjacent to the lid securing
threaded holes (see red arrows on adjacent picture).
2.3. -
If fitted to a ‘wet’ area, as additional precaution the Rugged
Control Unit enclosure cable glands should be sealed with a silicon sealant
after the unit has been cabled and tested. Whether sealed or not the
glands should be tightened around the cables. If sealant is going to be used
this is best applied to fill the ‘gaps’ around the cables, the glands should be
tightened just enough to extrude excess sealant then left for the sealant to
set, after which final tightening of the gland will ensure maximum water
resistance.
2.4.
– The standard and Rugged enclosure has a small RF antenna that
screws into the PCB through the case, to ensure integrity of the Rugged
enclosure the antenna should be sealed (with a silicon sealant) on
completion of instalation.
