14.1 Unit Installation
The S15 should be sited so that engine noise and vibration or other
background noise does not make it difficult for the operator to hear.
It is recommended that it is not installed where it will be exposed to
continuous direct sunlight as this will eventually damage the LCD display.
As loudspeakers contain powerful magnets, the radio should not be
installed within 1m (3ft 3in) of any compasses, whether magnetic or
electronic.
The fins on the back of the case act as a heat sink to dissipate heat
generated by the set when in use, which maintains the high efficiency of
the radio. The free circulation of air is essential - if mounting the radio is
in an enclosed space ensure that the space is vented.
The S15 is supplied with a reversible mounting bracket. This can be used
to mount the radio on the chart table or on an overhead bulkhead (Fig A).
Before installing, ensure that there is at least 101mm (4.0 in) verticals
clearance and 70mm (2 3/4in) horizontal clearance behind the bracket to
allow the radio to fit (Fig B). The rake angle of the radio can be adjusted
by slackening the clamp.
