Fitting the performance monitor arm
Attach the PM arm to the up-mast transceiver housing using the supplied T20 fasteners. The
arm should be oriented to point upwards. Ensure the gasket ring is fitted between the
housing and the base of the arm.
All electrical connections are made when the performance arm is attached to the up-mast
transceiver – it is not necessary to complete any further connections inside the up-mast
transceiver enclosure.
Fitting the control unit
The control unit may be mounted using either the supplied dash top bracket, or flush
mounted in to the ships control console. A suitable position will not obscure the view out of
the bridge windows, and will be oriented to minimize direct sunlight reflection off the
screen. The screen should be mounted no more than 0.75m from either the standing or
seated position of the operator. All keypad controls must be easily accessible.
U-bracket mounting
1.
Place the bracket in the desired mounting location. Ensure that the chosen location has
enough height to accommodate the unit fitted in the bracket, and allows tilting of the
unit. Also adequate space is required on both sides to allow tightening and loosening of
the knobs.
2.
Mark the screw locations using the bracket as a template, and drill pilot holes. Use
fasteners suited to the mounting surface material. If the material is too thin for self-
tappers, reinforce it, or mount the bracket with machine screws and large washers. Use
only 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners.
3.
Screw down the bracket.
4.
Using the screws provided in the gimbal kit, fasten the gimbals to the unit.
5.
Mount the unit to the bracket using the knobs. Hand tighten only. The ratchet teeth in the
bracket and display case ensure a positive grip and prevent the unit changing from the
desired angle.
6.
Fix the bracket straps.
