Mounting the DZMx
The DZMx Plus Control Head should be mounted where the flight crew or radio operator
have a clear view of the display and can easily use the keypad.
If the DZMx Plus Control Head is installed in the pedestal, for ease of use, it is preferable to
install it as near to the front of the pedestal as possible.
The DZMx Plus LCD is designed for optimum readability when viewed at angles between 60°
above the display to 20° below. Avoid mounting the unit where the display will be viewed at
an oblique angle, as it may not be clearly readable. It is preferable to mount the DZMx Plus
to minimise sunlight shining on the display.
