2.3 Planning the Installation
When planning to install your RC400 using the bracket mount and ship’s
power, the following points should be considered to ensure reliable and
trouble free operation:
• Convenience: The unit should be installed in a convenient position
where it can be viewed straight on or with a viewing angle of less than
35°. You may wish to apply power before you install the unit, to deter-
mine the best viewing angle prior to fixing. The mounting location
should be easily accessible to allow operation of the controls.
• Access: There must be sufficient space below the unit to allow cable
connection to the bottom connector, avoiding tight bends in the cable.
• Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from
devices that may cause interference, such as motors and generators.
• Power Source: The unit should be located near a DC power source.
The power cable supplied is 1.5m (5ft), but a longer cable can be used
if required. Power must be supplied via a 1A quick blow fuse or cir-
cuit breaker. Refer to
Running the Cable on page 16 .
• Interconnections: The unit transmits navigation and waypoint data
on NMEA and, therefore, can be connected to an NMEA compatible
devices. The navigation data transmitted by the chartplotter is
detailed in
Appendix A .
• Environment: The unit should be protected from physical damage,
heat sources and excessive vibration. Although the unit is waterproof,
it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged
and direct exposure to rain and/or salt spray.
The dimensions of the unit are shown in Figure 2-1 .
