3.4 Mount the R5 SOLID
3.4.1 Location
The R5 SOLID should be mounted close to the position from which the ship is normally
operated, preferably on the bridge console close to the conning position.
When mounting the R5 SOLID, please consider the following:
The R5 SOLID shall be connected to ship ground using the earth terminal found
on the rear plate.
The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable at the place of
mounting, +15ºC to +35ºC (Operating temperature: -15ºC to +55ºC.)
Select a location away from excessive heat sources
Ensure that there is enough airflow to avoid high ambient temperatures
Avoid areas where there is a high flow of humid salt air
Avoid places with high levels of vibrations and shocks
Avoid mounting the R5 SOLID in direct sunlight for the best readability
Ensure that the cables can be connected without violating their maximum
bending radius
The unit can affect magnetic compasses. The minimum compass safe distance
is 0.60 meters to a standard magnetic compass and 0.45 meters to a steering
magnetic compass
