hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do
NOT install in a hazardous/flammable
atmosphere (such as in an engine room

General location requirements
When selecting a location for your product it is
important to consider a number of factors.
Key factors which can affect product performance
are:
• Ventilation
To ensure adequate airflow:
– Ensure that product is mounted in a
compartment of suitable size.
– Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.
Allow adequate separation of all equipment.
Any specific requirements for each system
component are provided later in this chapter.
• Mounting surface
Ensure product is adequately supported on a
secure surface. Do not mount units or cut holes
in places which may damage the structure of the
vessel.
• Cabling
Ensure the product is mounted in a location which
allows proper routing, support and connection of
cables:
– Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in)
unless otherwise stated.
– Use cable clips to prevent stress on connectors.
– If your installation requires multiple ferrites to
be added to a cable then additional cable clips
should be used to ensure the extra weight of
the cable is supported.
• Water ingress
The product is suitable for mounting both above
and below decks. Although the unit is waterproof,
it is good practice to locate it in a protected area
away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain
and salt spray.
• Electrical interference
Select a location that is far enough away from
devices that may cause interference, such as
motors, generators and radio transmitters /
receivers.
• Power supply
Select a location that is as close as possible to the
vessel’s DC power source. This will help to keep
cable runs to a minimum.
