3.1 Selecting a location
Warning: Switch off power supply
Ensure the vessel’s power supply is switched OFF before starting to install this
product. Do NOT connect or disconnect equipment with the power switched
on, unless instructed in this document.
Warning: Potential ignition source
This product is NOT approved for use in hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do
NOT install in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere (such as in an engine room
or near fuel tanks).
General location requirements
When selecting a location for the unit it is important to consider a number of factors.
To ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that the display is temporarily powered up and
tested, at the chosen location, prior to installation.
Ventilation requirements
To provide adequate airflow around the product ensure that it is adequately separated from other
equipment or sources of heat.
Mounting surface requirements
When selecting a mounting surface ensure:
• the product will be adequately supported on a secure, flat surface. Do NOT mount units or cut
holes in places which may damage the structure of the vessel.
• sufficient space is available around the product.
• there is nothing behind the mounting surface that may be damaged when drilling.
Cable routing requirements
Ensure you have identified the route that all required cables will take and that sufficient space is
available to allow connection of cables:
• Unless otherwise stated, a minimum cable bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) is required.
• Where necessary, cable supports should be used to prevent stress on connectors.
Electrical interference
Select a location that is far enough away from equipment that may cause interference, such as
motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers.
Compass safe distance
To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate
distance is maintained from the product.
When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum possible
distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3.3 ft) in all directions.
However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a
compass. In this situation, when choosing the installation location for your product, ensure that the
compass is not affected by the product when it is in a powered state.
Viewing angle considerations
Display contrast and color are effected by the angle the display is viewed from., If you intend to
surface mount the display, it is recommended that you temporarily power up the display at the
desired location before installation.
