3)  Installation and clamping method 
a) Installation direction 
•  Installation should be done so that the cable gland is oriented toward the 
stern.   
 
b)  Bolts, unts and tightening torque to be used 
•  Use stainless steel bolts for the scanner and uniformly tighten all of the bolts 
using double nuts for each bolt so that the scanner will not become loose 
(Table 2-3). 
•  Although the length of the bolt will differ according to the thickness of the 
mount base, use a bolt long enough so that more than 4 millimeters of 
thread protrudes beyond the double nuts after the double nuts have been 
tightened.
