1.4 Power Supply (option)
The length of the power cable between the power supply and the transponder unit
is 3.5 m. Keep this length in mind when selecting a mounting location. A longer
cable should not be used – voltage drop will result, affecting performance.
When selecting a mounting location for the unit, keep the following in mind:
• Keep the unit out away from areas subject to water splash.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to it. Observe
the following compass safe distances to prevent disturbance to the magnetic
compass:
Steering compass: 0.6 m
Standard compass: 0.9 m
Fix the unit with four tapping screws (4x16) to a desktop or the deck as shown in
the figure below. It is not necessary to open the cover.
