1. MOUNTING
1.1 Mounting Considerations
When selecting a mounting location for the MFD8/12, keep the following in mind:
• The temperature and humidity at the mounting location should be moderate and stable.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and ventilators.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field generating equipment such as motors and gen-
erators.
• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the
unit and leave slack in cables. Minimum recommended space is shown the outline drawing for
the display units.
• Do not mount the MFD8/12 on the overhead.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to it. Observe the
compass safe distances shown in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to prevent disturbance to the
magnetic compass.
• For the flush mount, make sure the mounting location is flat.
The MFD8/12 can be flush mounted in a console or panel, or mounted on a desktop.
