Display location and mounting options
Your display can be mounted using the flush mounting clamps supplied. Green Marine
recommends that you power up and test the display prior to installation.
When planning the display location, the following points should be considered to ensure
safe, comfortable, and reliable operation:
Power connections
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the battery
isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Green Marine recommends that power is
fed directly to the display via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by
a thermal circuit breaker or fuse fitted close to the power connection. If you do not
have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit, you MUST fit an in-line
breaker or fuse to the positive (red) lead of the power cable.
•
Installation angle
- the MT Series 50 display should be mounted at an angle. Mounting it
in a flat plane is not recommended due to increased heat absorption.
•
Viewing angle
- this LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including
viewing angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays vary slightly
with viewing angle.
•
Environment
- to prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the
display. If the space behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan, it will help in
keeping the displays temperature down when mounted in direct sunlight.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY VENTILATE THE UNIT COULD INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although
the display is waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is good practice
to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt
spray. DO NOT mount the monitor near a heat source.
