Mounting
Mounting Dimensions
Refer to the product dimensions in the Appendices.
Attachment
Use washers between the unit and the mounting panel to ensure that the unit
is mounted only at the mounting points (to avoid twisting the case). The SDL
has three threaded mounting posts.
Do not over tighten the mounting screws (to avoid twisting the case).
Vibration isolation may be desirable if the vehicle vibrates severely.
Orientation
For best contrast, the display should be viewed at approximately 20 degrees
above normal, however the SDL will give good contrast between 0 and 40
degrees. Display reflections should also be considered when determining the
mounting angle.
Note that for accurate readings from the inbuilt vertical G sensor the SDL
should be mounted as close to vertical as possible.
20°
Connector Access
Mount so that the connector may be easily accessed.
