2.2.1.

Installation and mounting

This product is intended for console mounting. For details, please see the relevant
mechanical drawings.

Adequate ventilation is a necessary prerequisite for the life of the product. The air inlet
and outlet openings must definitely be kept clear; coverings which restrict ventilation are
not permissible.

Exposure to extreme direct sunlight can cause a considerable increase in the temperature
of the unit, and might under certain circumstances lead to over temperature. This point
should already be taken into consideration when the bridge equipment is being planned
(sun shades, distance from the windows, ventilation, etc.)

Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating procedures and for
maintenance, must be provided.

Information about necessary pull-relievers for cables is indicated in the Physical
Connection section of this manual. Attention must be paid to this information so that
cable breaks will not occur, e.g. during service work.

Do not paint the product. The surface treatment influences on the excess heat transfer.
Painting, labels or other surface treatments that differ from the factory default, might
cause overheating.

Expose to heavy vibration and acoustic noise might under certain circumstances affect
functionality and expected lifetime. This must be considered during system assembly
and installation. Mounting position must carefully be selected to avoid any exposure of
amplified vibration.

2.2.2.

General mounting instructions

In the area of the wheel house, the distance of each electronics unit from the magnetic
standard compass or the magnetic steering compass must not be less than the permitted
magnetic protection distance. This distance is measured from the centre of the magnetic
system of the compass to the nearest point on the corresponding unit concerned.

Units which are to be used on the bridge wing must be installed inside the “wing control
console” protected against the weather. In order to avoid misting of the viewing screen, a
25 ... 50 W console-heating (power depending on the volume) is recommended.

When selecting the site of a display unit, the maximum cable lengths have to be
considered.

When a product is being installed, the surface base or bulkhead must be checked to
ensure that it is flat in order to avoid twisting of the unit when the fixing screws are
tightened, because such twisting would impair mechanical functions. Any unevenness
should be compensated for by means of spacing-washers.

The grounding screws of the units must be connected to the body of the ship (ground);
the wire used should have a cross sectional area of at least 6 mm2.

Transportation damage, even if apparently insignificant at first glance, must immediately
be examined and be reported to the freight carrier. The moment of setting-to-work of the
equipment is too late, not only for reporting the damage but also for the supply of
replacements.

The classification is only valid for approved mounting brackets provided by Hatteland
Display. The unit shall be mounted stand-alone without any devices or loose parts placed
at or nearby the unit. Any other type of mounting might require test and re-classification.
