Installing the Processor Unit 
The processor unit should be mounted aligned with the ship’s fore-and-aft line. It 
can be mounted on the deck, bulkhead, or on the underside of a desk. Choose a 
mounting location which allows you to easily view the power lamp on the top of 
the unit and which is within 
±
2.5
°
 of the ship’s fore-and-aft line.
