1.3 Control Unit
Mounting considerations
The control unit may be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal (supplied) which
mounts the control unit at an angle. When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the fol-
lowing points:
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated conveniently while observing the dis-
play screen.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between the control
unit and the processor unit. (A 10 m signal cable is attached to the control unit.)
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to it. Observe the com-
pass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
Mounting procedure
Fixing with KB (keyboard) fixing plate
The KB fixing plate sits the control unit at a comfortable angle, like the retractable legs on a PC
keyboard.
1. Fix the KB fixing plate to the bottom of the control unit.
2. Attach cushions (three for RCU-014, two for RCU-015/RCU-016) to the bottom of the control
unit as shown below.
3. Fix the unit to a desired location with self-tapping screws (local supply).
