1 MOUNTING
Refer to the outline drawing at the end of the manual for mounting dimensions.
Note: The LCD is made of glass. Handle it with care.
1.1 Display Unit
The display unit may be flush mounted in a panel or on a desktop, using the optional
bracket. Display tilt can be chosen from 9° or 20°, by the location of the mounting plate.
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight.
• Select a location where the display can be easily viewed and the controls can be easily
operated.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for servicing and maintenance. See the outline
drawing for recommended servicing space.
• The unit weighs 35.3 lbs (16 kg). Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to
support the weight of the unit.
• Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash and rain.
Flush mounting
See the outline drawing at the end of the manual for mounting dimensions.
CAUTION
Hold the cover and display unit
together when lifting the display unit.
The display unit may fall if only the cover
is held.
1. Using the paper template supplied in the installation materials, make a cutout in the
mounting location. (Modification of the LCD may be necessary depending on equipment
used. See “Modification for Switching from Landscape to Portrait Orientation” in the
Appendix for details.)
2. Pull the display unit cover toward you to detach it.

3. Fasten the display unit to the mounting location with six tapping screws (5X30).
Note 1: Hex head bolts may also be used to fasten the display unit. However, their
length must be at least 30 mm.
Note 2: Use M5 bolt or tapping screw (nominal diameter: M5), although the size of the
mounting holes in the display unit is M8.

2.1 Wiring External Equipment
Connect ext er nal equipment to the M U- 150C by refer r ing to the draw ings in this section. A
cable with connector at both ends is pro vided to connect equipment.
Genera l-purpose monitor
To use the MU-150C as a gener al-purpose monitor, connect equipment w ith a mini D-SUB
15P connec tor. In this case do not connect a navigator to the NMEA port. Nav data is output
through the D- S UB 25P connector.

POWER switch:Turns the power on/off. The LED lamp lights in green when the unit
is turned on and goes off when the unit is turned off.
To turn the MU-150C on and off from the control unit of a video
sounder such as the FCV-1200 series, turn on the POWER switch
of the MU-150C. Note that with the MU-150C turned on and the
FCV-1200 turned off the LED on the MU-150C lights in red. This
means that weak current is flowing to the MU-150C. To turn off the
power completely, turn off the MU-150C.

5 MAINTENANCE,
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
5.1 Maintenance
Routine maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good perf or mance. Check the follow ing on a regular
basis to keep t he equipment in good operating condit ion.
• Check that the connectors at the rear of the display uni t are tightly fastened.
• Check the ground wire and gr ound terminal for rust. Clean if necess ar y. Confirm that the
ground wire is tightly fastened.
• Remove dust and dirt f r om the display unit and LCD with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use
chemical cleaners to cl ean any part of the displ ay unit – they can remo ve p aint and
markings.
• Wipe the LCD carefully o prevent scratching, usi ng tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To
remove dirt or s alt deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wi ping slowly wit h tissue paper so as
to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so the salt or dirt will not scratch the
LCD. Do not use s olvents s uch as thinner, acet one or benzen e for cleaning.
Fuse replacement
The 1.5 A 250 V fuse (AC type) or 3A 125V fuse (DC type) on the rear panel protects t he
equipment from internal fault and overcurrent. If the fuse blows, find the c aus e before
replacing it. If the fuse blows again after repl ac em ent, request service.
WARNING
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage to the equipment.

Modification for Switching from
Landscape to Portrait Orientation
To use the MU-150C for portrait w ith the CH-37, FCV-1200 series, FCV-1500 series or
FR-1760DS, the LCD assem bly must be turned 180°.
1. Place t he display unit on a workbench with the LCD side down. I t is recommended to
place the uni t on cushioning m aterial s o as not to place press ure on knob.
2. Unfasten t he items marked wit h white arrows in the f igure below to remove the cover for
the power s ec tion and connectors: 10 screws, four spacer s for connectors and two nuts
of waterpr oof connectors . T his gives access to t he CONE Board (10P6877) and power
