4.2 Location for the transceiver
Before continuing, look for a place to install the transceiver which:
Is far enough away from any device sensitive to magnetic/electromagnetic
fields (e.g. compass) in order to avoid interference during their use.
Allows for accessibility to the front panel of KV-300.
Provides easy connection to a power supply, for the antenna and for other
cables.
Has sufficient space close by for installation of the microphone support.
Allows for mounting of the antenna at least 1 meter from the transceiver.
The universal mounting bracket supplied allows for mounting of the transceiver
high up(with the bracket above the device)or on the bridge (with the bracket
below the device) with an angle range of 45 .
*
Warning! Installation and connections must be performed in part by
qualified persons.
4.3 Mounting of transceiver
To mount the transceiver to your vessel (see following picture):
1. Choose an appropriate location, as explained in the paragraph above.
2. Position the mounting bracket on the surface upon which it will be fixed,
use a pencil to draw the position of the four holes where the screws will be
inserted.
* Ensure that the surface intended for the transceiver mounting can be dril-
led into without provoking damage to other parts of the vessel and be careful
to not drill right through it.
3. Remove the bracket, drill four holes smaller in diameter than the screws, and
reposition the mounting bracket, aligning it with the four holes.
4. Screw in the mounting screws and ensure the bracket is fixed firmly, using the
screws, the
washers, the flat washers and the nuts supplied.
If you are not able to reach the back part of the bracket surface to fix the nuts
onto the screws, use threaded screws to fix the bracket.
5. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver so that the bracket is firmly fixed to the
surface.
