4.2 SURFACE UNIT ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION
4.2.1 Mounting of Units
The display unit should be located in the wheel house in a place that provides a good
view of the screen and avoids direct sunlight, if possible. Depending on the monitor
that was selected, the unit may be mounted on top or recessed into the bridge
console. Simrad supplied display units include the necessary mounting brackets.
The FS 20/25 HP PC processor should be mounted in close vicinity to the operator's
position in the wheel house and near the display unit. The unit may be mounted below
or recessed into a cabinet. Note: You must have access to the ON/OFF switch.
The Power Supply/TTM interface module supplied with the system may be mounted
on top of the bridge console or recessed and flush mounted into the bridge console.
Sufficient space should be left around the control unit for proper ventilation.
