3. Water Resistance.
The Sensor Unit has passed the EN60529 IP65 Water Resistance Standard which insures that the unit is
completely sealed and is Splash Proof. The unit should NOT however be installed in an area where the
unit may be submerged in water.
4. Environmental.
The operating temperature of the StrataBox Sensor is –25C to +60C thus the operating temperature range
of the PC is likely the limiting factor for temperature. The unit has also passed all of the EN60945
emission tests (radiation and immunity). For optimum system performance it is still recommended that
the installer mount or place the Sensor unit in an area that is at least several feet away from any other
electronic equipment or machinery on the vessel. The unit should also be mounted or placed in an area
that won’t be exposed to water if practical.
Mounting the Sensor Unit
This section outlines the steps for mounting the Sensor Unit. Refer to Figure 2-2 while installing. The
unit may be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The keyhole slots make installation in hard to
reach areas easier, but be sure to tighten all mounting hardware securely. Insure that adequate room is left
for installing and removing the cable connections. Also, verify that the status indicator (labeled STAT) is
visible.
Step 1) Confirm that the area behind the intended-mounting surface on the bulkhead is clear of
equipment, panels, electrical cables, conduits, hydraulic, air, water lines or pipes.
Step 2) Using the Sensor Unit as a template mark a drill point for each of the mounting holes. Insure that
the marks for the keyholes are placed in the smaller, slotted areas.
Step 3) Drill four (4) holes that will work with the mounting hardware that has been selected (not
supplied). The 4 holes on the Electronic unit are .195 inches in size (#8 size Screw recommended
for installation).
