3.4 Location and fixing of the transceiver
Please note the following guidelines when selecting an installation location:
● The ambient temperature around the transceiver should be
maintained between -25°C and +55°C.
● The transceiver should not be located in a flammable or hazardous
atmosphere, such as in an engine room or near to fuel tanks.
● The transceiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least 0.2m
from a compass or any magnetic device.
● The transceiver should be mounted in a location where the LED
indicators are readily visible as they provide important information on
the status of the transceiver.
● WiFi & Bluetooth enabled variants (B922/B924/B952/B954) will
benefit from being installed near the center of the boat to provide a
consistent signal across all areas. The construction of your vessel
can also have an impact on performance. For example, metal
structural bulk heads and roofing, power cables and reflective
surfaces can reduce and in certain situations, block the signal.
Consider testing the reception to ensure you're happy before you
mount the bracket and transceiver.
● For optimum performance the transceiver should be mounted at least
1 metre away from other high power transmitting equipment like VHF
radios.
● There should be adequate space around the transceiver for routing
of cables. See Figure 9 for details of the transceiver dimensions.
