Chapter 1: Introduction

This manual provides information and instructions for installing your A60 display

and RS12 GPS sensor.

1.1 Selecting the Display Unit Location

Your A60 can be mounted using the mounting bracket supplied, or console

mounted using the optional flush mount kit.

Before you install the display, plan its installation, considering:

•

Convenience. The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow

operation of the front panel controls.

•

Access. There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable con-

nections to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.

•

Interference. The selected location should be far enough away from devices

that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmit-

ters/receivers (see EMC Guidelines).

•

Magnetic compass. Mount the display at least 3ft (1m) away from a mag-

netic compass.

•

Cable runs. The display should be mounted as close as possible to the DC

power source.

•

Environmental. The display should be protected from physical damage and

excessive vibration. Although the display unit is waterproof, it is good practice

to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to

rain and salt spray.
