Furuno FM-8800S - Manual (Page 13)

1. MOUNTING
1-5
CH70 RX Antenna
The antenna should be well separated from nearby antennas, masts, and other interfering
objects.
The mounting procedure is the same as that for the VHF antenna, however consult
appropriate outline drawing for details.
Handset Hanger
The handset hanger can be mounted at the left side of the transceiver unit. The mounting
location should provide easy access to front panel controls while operating the handset.
Also, the length of the standard handset cable is 50 cm, so locate the handset hanger within
50 cm of the unit. (Longer cables are available optionally.)
Power Supply (option)
For Convention vessels, both AC and DC power must be fed to the FM-8800D/8800S, via
an AC
-DC power supply. When AC input fails, DC power is supplied. FURUNO can supply
an AC -DC power supply unit, the PR-240.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points.
• Select a location which provides adequate ventilation.
• The location must be clean and dry.
• The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the unit (14.5 kg) under the
continued conditions of vibration normally encountered aboard the vessel. If necessary,
reinforce the mounting location.
• The PR-240 will affect a magnetic compass if it is placed to near the compass. Observe
the compass safe distance to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass, referring to page
“ i ”.
