4.2.1 Mounting of Units
If you have selected the FS Integrated Rack Mounted System, you
can install the cabinet up to 30 meters from the monitors. With a
KVM extender option you can install the cabinet up to 150 meters
away from the monitors. If not, you will have to follow the
procedure indicated below.
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.
