HARDWARE MOUNTING
Install the RI-50 radar interface module
Install the RI-50 in a dry location away from spray, rain, drips, condensation or excessive heat. The
mounting position should be easily accessible.
Always mount the RI-50 vertically, with the cable entry points facing downwards. This helps with
cooling and helps prevent any water from entering the cable grommets.
Ensure there is enough unobstructed space above and below the RI-50 to ensure it cools
adequately and the ambient temperature does not exceed 55°C (131°F). If overheating is a
concern, consider additional ventilation, such as a vent or extraction fan.
⚠ Warning: Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit may cause
unreliable operation and reduced service life.
The RI-50 must be located where it can easily connect to the vessel’s ground connection, the
pedestal interconnection cable and the power cable.
Use fasteners suited to the mounting surface material. If you are using the supplied self-tapping
tapping screws, reinforce it or use machine screws, nuts and washers. Use only 304 or 316 stainless
steel fasteners.
