Installing the Operating Panel (Mk1)
The Operating Panel offers all necessary control functions for normal operation of the CS90. The Operating Panel is normally placed on the bridge near the display.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different screwdriver types, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment. Depending on the chosen installation method, additional tools may be required.
Context
A suitable location for the Operating Panel must be chosen before the installation starts. Observe the limitations due to the cable lengths. We recommend that the Operating Panel is positioned in the same physical direction as the display, so that "up" on the operating panel is the same as "up" on the display. Experience has shown that this will make it easier to use the trackball on the operating panel when you wish to control the cursor on the display.
Procedure
1 Prepare the location and the necessary tools.
Note
In order to allow for future maintenance, we recommend to mount the unit with its cables and connectors available for easy access.
2 Drill and cut the panel opening as shown in the drawing
3 Mount the Operating Panel using the supplied hardware.
The necessary mounting hardware (four screws, four nut plates and four bolt covers) are supplied in the standard delivery.
a Position the four nut plates shown in the illustration.
b Use a 3 mm Allen key to fasten the four special bolts.
c Mount the bolt covers in the four corners of the Operating Panel.
4 Connect the cables.
Note
When you connect the cables, make sure that they are all properly secured, and able to withstand the vibration and movements of the vessel.
