UNIT
5.1 Location of the Sonar Control Unit
The Sonar Control Unit may be mounted on a desk top, in a panel,
or to the bulkhead. The necessary hardware for desk top and
panel mounting of the unit is included in the delivery. It should be
noted that the unit weighs approximately 28 kg, and this weight
must be considered when deciding how to mount it.
In order to secure the best location according to the routines on
board, the location of the Sonar Control Unit should be
thoroughly discussed with the skipper. Make sure that proper
operating and viewing height is provided.
Remember to include the ”Compass Safe Distance” when
planning the location:
· Sonar Control Unit with internal display
Standard compass: 1.4 m
Steering compass: 0.9 m
· Control Unit without display:
Standard compass: 1.1 m
Steering compass: 0.6 m
When mounting the unit, ensure that it is located to allow easy
access to the cable connection panel at the rear of the unit.
Ensure that the installation area is dry, and free from excessive
dust and vibration.
