M570 trackball
The M570 is a desktop trackball and can be fixed in place using self-adhesive velcro. Double
sided mounting tape is not recommended as it would impede battery replacement. The
M570 receiver must be plugged into one of the two USB ports on the E5000 processor.
¼ Note:
To fulfill the ECDIS regulations, the trackball must be mounted in an illuminated loca-
tion!
M5024 series monitor installation
M50xx series monitors include installation instructions and mounting templates that should
be carefully read before commencing with installation.
The recommended means to connect the power supply and remote power signal to the
E5024 is as follows:
1.
The remote power signal is required to be used for a compliant ECDIS system. It is
recommended that the remote power signal wire be connected to the main bridge or
conning station power circuit. This allows the ECDIS to be powered-up or down using the
main power signal circuit on the boat
2.
It is further advised that the ECDIS system be powered from a power supply independent
from the remote power signal sharing a common ground
¼ Note:
Nominal viewing distance is 1m. Do not install monitors in a location where this dis-
tance from the operator is exceeded.
