INSTALLATION
General mounting guidelines
⚠
WARNING: Do not install the unit in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere. Always wear
appropriate eye wear, ear protection and dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
Remember to check the reverse side of all surfaces whenever drilling or cutting.
¼
Note: Choose a mounting location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the
technical specifications.
Mounting location
This product generates heat which must be considered when choosing the mounting location.
Ensure the selected area allows for:
• Cable routing, cable connection and cable support.
• Connection and use of portable storage devices.
Do also consider:
• The free space around the unit to avoid overheating.
• The mounting surface’s structure and strength, with regard to the weight of the equipment.
• Any mounting surface vibration that might damage the equipment.
• Hidden electrical wires that might be damaged when drilling holes.
Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit may cause reduced performance
and reduced service life. Ventilation is recommended behind all units that are not bracket mounted.
Ensure cables do not obstruct the airflow.
Examples of enclosure ventilation options, in order of preference, are:
• Positive pressure air from the vessel’s air conditioning system.
• Positive pressure air from local cooling fans (fan required at input, fan optional at outlet).
•
Passive airflow from air vents.
Electrical and radio frequency interference
This unit conforms with the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To ensure
the EMC performance is not compromised, the following guidelines apply:
• Separate battery used for the vessel engine.
• Minimum 1 m (3 ft) between the device, the device’s cables and any transmitting equipment
or cables with radio signals.
• Minimum 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device’s cables and the SSB radio.
• More than 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device’s cables and the radar beam.
Compass safe distance
The unit outputs electromagnetic interference that can cause inaccurate readings on a nearby
compass. To prevent compass inaccuracy, the unit must be mounted far enough away so the
interference does not affect compass readings. For minimum compass safe distance, refer to the
technical specifications.
