7.2 WASSP Processor Mounting Considerations
The supplied WASSP Processor must be mounted on a flat, stable surface. The computer can be
mounted horizontally using the supplied stand. Keep the following in mind when selecting a mounting
location for the computer:
►
Secure the computer so that it cannot come loose in rough seas.
►
Keep the computer out of direct sunlight.
►
The temperature and humidity of the location where the computer is mounted should be moderate
and stable.
►
Locate the computer away from exhaust pipes and vents.
►
The mounting location should be well ventilated.
►
Mount the computer where shock and vibration are minimal.
►
Keep the computer away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment, such as motors or
generators.
►
For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the
computer installation location.
►
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the computer. Do not locate the
computer closer than the following compass safe distances to prevent interference with the
magnetic compass:
•
Standard compass: 0.8 meters.
•
Steering compass: 0.6 meters.
