1. INSTALLATION

1.1 Display Unit

The display unit may be mounted on a desktop, overhead or flush mounted in a console.

Mounting considerations

Choose a mounting location for t he display unit considering the following points:

• Choose a location where the controls can be easily operated.

• Leave sufficient space around the unit to facilitate checking and maintenance. See the

outline drawing at the back of this manual for recommended maintenance space.

• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.

• The operating temperature range is -15°C to 55°C (5°F to 131°F).

• Locate the unit well away from exhaust gases and other active gases.

• The location should be well ventilated.

• Choose a location where shock and vibration are minimal.

• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough t o support the weight of the unit,

particularly in overhead mounting. If necessary r einforce the mounting location.

• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass.

Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation to the compass. Standard compass, 0.70 m, Steering compass, 0.45 m.

Mounting

Desktop, overhead mounting

1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5X20). See the outline drawing on page D-1 for complete mounting dimensions.

2. Loosely screw the knob bolts into the display unit.

3. Set the display unit to the hanger and tighten the knob bolts.

4. Attach the hard cover to the display unit to protect the LCD.

Flush mounting

If the thickness of the console is 11-14 mm, use the washer head screws (M4X20) supplied with the installation m aterials. If it is thicker than those dimensions, the length of the screws should be the thickness of the console plus 7.3 mm ±1.5 mm. The length of the threaded portion t o be insert ed to the display unit should not exceed 7 mm (B

≤7).

A: Thickness of console

1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location using the template provided.

2. Fix the display unit with six washer head screws (M4X20) provided.

1.2 Antenna Unit

Refer to the antenna unit outline dra wing at the back of this manual for mounting instructions.

When selecting a mounting location consider the following points:

• Select a location out of the radar and Inm arsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or

prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

• There should be no interfering object within t he line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects

within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.

• Locate the antenna well away from t he antenna of a VHF radiotelephone to prevent

interference.

• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of

interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.

Note: If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole in a bulkhe ad which is too small

to pass the connector, disassemble the connector with radio pincers an d a monkey wrench. After passing the cable through the hole assemble the connector as below.
