EAGLE EVR-100 Operation Instructions4

Installation

This Eagle radio allows you to make a maritime distress call to facilitate search and rescue. To be eﬀective as a safety device, this radio must be used only within the geographic range of a shore-based VHF marine Channel 16 distress and safety watch system. The geographic range may vary but under normal conditions is approximately 20 nautical miles.

Installation Options

There are two ways to install the radio. You can choose:

• a deck or overhead mounted gimbal installation. The reversible mounting gimbal is ﬁxed to to a suitable site and the radio is placed into it. The radio can be removed for storage and the viewing angle can be adjusted.

• a recessed installation. The radio is recessed into a cavity cut into a bulkhead. The radio ﬁxture is permanent and the viewing angle cannot be adjusted.

Location Requirements

Please check these BEFORE doing any cutting or drilling. Whichever installation method you choose, ensure that the chosen location:

• is at least 3' (1 m) from the antenna

• allows easy connection to (at least) a 10 Amp fused 13.6 V DC electrical source and the

antenna

• is at least 1.5' (45 cms) from the compass to avoid creating magnetic deviation of the compass

during radio operation

• has a suitable space close by for installing the microphone bulkhead mount

• provides easy access to the controls on the front panel

• provides reasonable access to the wiring at the back of the radio

The VHF has a large LCD screen

with an optimum viewing angle of approx. +/-20 deg. Ensure the chosen location provides a suitable view of the display. Ideally, the user should be directly in front of the display or no more than +/-20 deg from the front of the display.

Note: If unsure, temporarily power

up the radio and check for a suitable location.
