2.2.2 Fixed Base Mounting
The supplied fixed base is intended to allow you to mount the system on a flat
surface. This surface may be something that you fabricate for the sake of the
installation, or may be something that already exists on your vessel or an off-the-
shelf item, such as a radar mounting plate.
The fixed base has the following features:
•
6 holes for mounting onto the MX575 enclosure
•
A channel through the mount for the power/data cable.
•
Two small keys to aid the alignment of the base to the enclosure.
•
Four slots used for fastening the mounted enclosure to the vessel.
•
Four tunnels that allow you to route the cable outside the base and along the
mounting surface.
The slots on the bottom of the base allow for a degree of adjustment when the
MX575 is secured in its final location.
Note: You do not necessarily need to orient the MX575
precisely as you can enter a heading
offset to accommodate for any bias in heading measurement due to installation.
