SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits and
service manual.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
CAUTION
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass:
Use the power cable supplied with the
installation materials.
Use of other power cables may cause fire
or damage the equipment.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of the wrong fuse may damage the
equipment.
Observe the following precautions when
handling the transducer cable:
- Keep away from oils.
- Choose a working area where the
cable will not be damaged during
installation.
- Do not paint the cable.
The sheath of the cable is made of
chloroprene (or polyvinyl chloride).
Those materials easily deteriorate in
the presence of organic solvents
(toulene, etc.) found in paints. For
that reason keep the cable away from
ship's paint house.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Display Unit
The display unit may be mounted on a desktop, overhead or flush mounted in a console.
Mounting considerations
Choose a mounting location for the display unit considering the following points:
• Choose a location where the controls can be easily operated.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit to facilitate checking and maintenance. See the outline
drawing at the back of this manual for recommended maintenance space.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.
• The operating temperature range is -15°C to 55°C (5°F to 131°F).
• Locate the unit well away from exhaust gases and other active gases.
• The location should be well ventilated.
• Choose a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit, particularly in
overhead mounting. If necessary reinforce the mounting location.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation to the compass.
Standard compass, 0.70 m, Steering compass, 0.45 m.

Mounting
Desktop, overhead mounting
1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5x20). See the outline
drawing on page D-1 for complete mounting dimensions.
2. Loosely screw the knob bolts into the display unit.
3. Set the display unit to the hanger and tighten the knob bolts.
4. Attach the hard cover to the display unit to protect the LCD.

Flush mounting
If the thickness of theconsole is 11-14 mm, use thewasher head
screws (M4x20) supplied with the installation materials. If it is
thicker than those dimensions, the length of the screws should
be the thickness of the console plus 7.3 mm ±1.5 mm. The
length of the threaded portion to be inserted to the display unit
should not exceed 7 mm (B 7).
1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location using the template provided.
2. Fix the display unit with six washer head screws (M4x20) provided.

1.2 Antenna Unit
Refer to the antenna unit outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting instructions.
When selecting a mounting location consider the following points:
• Select a location out of the radar and Inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or prevent
reception of the GPS satellite signal.
• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within line-
of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.
• Locate the antenna well away from the antenna of a VHF radiotelephone to prevent interfer-
ence.
• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of interfering
objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water
freezes.
Note: If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole in a bulkhead which is too small to pass
the connector, disassemble the connector with radio pincers anda monkey wrench. After passing
the cable through the hole assemble the connector as below.
