1. MOUNTING
1.1 Main Unit
1.1.1 General
The DSC-60 can be mounted on the overhead, on a tabletop, on a bulkhead, or flush mounted in
a panel. Mount the unit where it can be easily viewed and operated. When selecting a mounting
location, keep in mind the following considerations, in addition to those already mentioned.
•Locate the unit away from water splash and rain.
•The temperature and humidity of the location should be stable and moderate.
•Keep the unit away from exhaust gas and heating and cooling vents.
•Select a well ventilated location.
•Select a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
1.1.2 Compass safe distance
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the main unit. Keep the following
compass safe distances in mind when selecting a mounting location.
Standard compass: 0.3 meters
Steering compass: 0.2 meters

Notes
•All dimensions in millimeters.
•For added support fasten unit to mounting location with nuts, bolts and washers instead of
tapping screws.
•Leave sufficient space at sides and rear of the unit for maintenance and service purposes.
The minimum recommended space appears in the figure above.
1.1.4 Flush Mounting
The hanger is mounted with the unit when the unit is flush mounted. Be sure the mounting
location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
Prepare cutout of 255 x 103 in panel.

1.2 Antenna (option)
Performance of this unit is directly related to the antenna installation. In general, the antenna
should be installed as high as possible on the boat, free from the influence of nearby antennas,
rigging and masts.
The antenna commonly used for the DSC-60 is a 6 m whip antenna (local supply), long wire or
optional whip of 2.6 m length with preamp unit (optional supply).
The antenna input on this unit is automatically protected against strong induction by a protective
circuit. For better performance, however, we recommended use of the preamp unit FAX-5.
Antenna cable (option)
Connect the antenna to the unit with any 50 ohm coaxial cable (RG-10U/Y or equivalent).
Connect the center conductor of the coaxial cable using the junction box (type: AJB1-1A, code
no.: 000-870-284, order from FURUNO).
AJB1-1A
Preamp unit (option)
The body of the preamp unit can be mounted two ways;
1. The bottom of the preamp unit is designed to accept a threaded extension mast of 1 inch
diameter. The pitch of the thread should be 14 threads per inch. To prevent undue flexing of
the mast in heavy winds, the mast should not be longer than 5 feet (1.5 m).
2. The side of the preamp unit has a molded channel so that it may be mounted directly to a
stub mast with two stainless steel hose clamps. Hose clamps must be arranged locally.
Screw the 2.6 m whip antenna tightly onto the preamp unit and waterproof the junction and other
exposed metallic parts with sealing compound (silicone rubber, putty, etc.).
Note that a wire antenna of 2 to 3 meters length may be used instead of the whip antenna.
Note: The preamp unit requires about 9 VDC power. See page 20.

1.3 External Loudspeaker
The external loudspeaker sounds the alarm. It can be installed on a tabletop, the overhead or
bulkhead. Fasten the loudspeaker to the mounting location with tapping screws, or nuts, bolts
and washers. For mounting dimensions, see the outline drawing at the end of this manual.
1.4 Handset Hanger (option)
The mounting location should provide easy access to front panel controls while operating the
handset. Also, the length of the standard handset cable is 100 cm, so locate the handset hanger
within 100 cm of the unit.
1.5 AC-DC Power Supply Unit (option)
For Convention vessels, both AC and DC power must be fed to the DSC-60, via an AC-DC
power supply unit. When AC input fails, DC power is supplied. FURUNO can supply the PR-300
AC-DC power supply unit.
1.5.1 Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points.
•Select a location which provides adequate ventilation.
•The location must be clean and dry.
•The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the unit (14.5 kg) under the
continued conditions of vibration normally encountered aboard the vessel. If necessary,
reinforce the mounting location.
•The PR-300 will affect a magnetic compass if it is placed too near the compass. Observe the
following compass safe distance to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass;
Standard compass: 0.9 meters
Steering compass: 0.7 meters
1.5.2 Mounting
Refer to outline drawing at the end of this manual.

1.6 Printer PP-510 (option)
Install the unit with the two mounting fixtures (supplied). Refer to the outline drawing at the end of
this manual. Connect the interconnection cable between the printer and the DSC-60.
For how to load paper and set ribbon cassette, refer to the Operator’s Manual of the printer.
Mounting
1. Select a flat surface. (Compass safe distance, Standard, 1.0 meters, Steering, 0.8 meters)
2. Fix the printer to the mounting location with two mounting fixture.
