Mounting the Processor Unit
1.2.1 Mounting
considerations
The processor unit should be mounted aligned with the ship’s fore-and-aft line. It
can be mounted on the deck, bulkhead, or on the underside of a desk. When
choosing a mounting location keep the following points in mind.
•
Choose a mounting location which allows you to easily view the power lamp
on the top of the unit and which is within
±
2.5
°
of the ship’s fore-and-aft line.
•
Choose a location where vibration and shock are minimal.
•
Install the unit well away from locations subject to rain and water splash.
•
Locate the unit away from air conditioner vents.
•
Keep the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside its
cabinet.
•
Choose a well-ventilated location.
•
Leave sufficient space around the unit to permit access for maintenance. See
the outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
