4.2 Surface Unit Installation
4.2.1 Mounting of Units
The display unit should be located in the wheel house in a place that provides a good view of
the screen and avoids direct sunlight if possible. Depending on the monitor that was selected
the unit may be mounted on top or recessed into the bridge console.
The FS70 Processing unit should be mounted in close vicinity to the operator's position in the
wheel house and near the display unit. The unit may be mounted on top of the bridge console
or recessed into a cabinet. Note: You must have access to the ON/OFF switch and provide
proper ventilation to avoid overheating.
The Power Supply/TTM Interface Unit supplied with the system may be mounted on top of
the bridge console or recessed and flush mounted into the bridge console. Sufficient space
should be left around the control unit for proper ventilation.
Optional equipment for interface to the control unit may be mounted in any convenient
location provided the user supplied interconnects cables is of sufficient length and the
required power is available.
