1. MOUNTING
1.1 Mounting Considerations
1.1.1 Mounting considerations for RC-1800F2
As shown on the next page, the rack console is normally installed on the bridge.
Install the rack console where the equipment can be easily operated, checked and serviced. Con-
sult with shipyard personnel and ship’s officer-in-charge to determine best location. The location
must satisfy the following points:
• Consider relation to other equipment near mounting site and mounting direction.
• Select a location where controls can be easily operated.
• Ample space should be left at the sides of the equipment to enable servicing and to provide
ventilation.
• Select a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Locate the console away from water splash and rain.
• The temperature and humidity of the location should be both stable and moderate.
• If the rack console is to be installed in the radio room, the units shown below must be installed
on the bridge.
Distress Alert/Received Call Unit IC-305
Alarm Unit IC-306
SSAS Alert Unit IC-307
Control Unit FS-2571C/2575C
EGC Printer PP-505
• The performance of a magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the rack con-
sole. Separate the rack console from a compass by the distances shown on page i to prevent
compass error.
As for mounting the antenna coupler and antenna units, refer to the respective Installation Manu-
als.

1.2 Mounting the Channel Base and Rack Console
Leave at least 100 mm of service space on the sides and at the rear of the console. Determine
cable coming position and size and ground location by referring to the figure below. Determine
size of the cable coming considering both cable size and cable bends.
Weld all sides of the channel base to the deck. Fasten the rack console to the channel base with
six M12 bolts.
After leading in cables through the rear of the rack console, cover cable entrances with putty or
silicone sealant to close any gaps.
Note: After removing four hoisting eyebolts from the rack console, cover the four holes for the eye-
bolts with the cosmetic caps (installation materials: CP05-09301).
CAUTION
Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock and
mutual interference.
Handle copper plate carefully.
An edge of it may harm your
hand.

cable layout and total sectional area of cabling.
Note: After welding and painting
with rust inhibiting paint, paint
same color as console
(Munsell 7.5BG7/2).

Grounding the copper plate
Weld a steel plate with copper strap, and connect it to the rack console. Solder the point where
the copper plate connects to the copper platge support, to prevent corrosion and to ensure tight
connection.

1.3 Mounting the Rack Console Table, Keyboard
1. Fasten right and left side table brackets to the console frame with six M5x20 bolts supplied as
accessories.
2. Lay the rack console table on the top of the table brackets.
3. Fasten the rack console table with five M6x15 flat head screws.
*=M5x20 bolt (w/spring washer and flat washer)
How to fix the keyboard for the terminal unit to the tabletop
1. Cut the rubber cap at the front of the console beneath the No.1/No.2 terminal unit, and pass
the printer cable through it.
2. Unfasten two screws (M4x10) to detach the front cover.
