1.  HOW TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM

Follow the points below to select an installation location.

•  Mount the unit upright.
•  Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat 

that can build up inside the unit.

•  Install the unit away from areas subject to water splash or rain.
•  Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit un-

der the continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If necessary 
reinforce the mounting location.

•  Determine the mounting location considering the length of these cables: - Signal ca-

ble from the transceiver unit - control cable from the control unit

•  Leave sufficient space on the sides of the unit to facilitate maintenance. Also, leave 

a foot or so of "service loop" in cables for servicing or easy removal of connectors. 
See the outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.

•  Follow the compass safe distances in the Safety Instructions to prevent interference 

to a magnetic compass.

Fasten the unit with four self-tapping screws (6x30).
