2.8.6 Heat Management: The display is designed to work within most high ambient heat conditions.
There are extreme yet rare conditions that may cause the display to go black or “Blackout”. This
is normally caused by concentrated and excessive UV rays (DIRECT SUNLIGHT) acting on the
LCD panel.
To minimize the risk of the Display being subjected to the above one should endeavour to:
2.8.6.1
Employ additional cooling to assist with heat dissipation.
2.8.6.2
Provide additional shading.

EMC Guidelines
All Nauticomp Displays and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the rugged
electronic environment. The design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards (Section 1.4.5 refers), but correct installation is required to ensure that
performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under
all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The
guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may
not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC
performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible
between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimumEMC performance, it is recommended that where ever possible Nauticomp Displays and cables
connected should be:
2.9.1 At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF
radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft
(2 m).
2.9.2 More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to
spread above and below the radiating element.
2.9.3 Supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and
starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset and or cause the loss of some
information and may change the operating mode.
2.9.4 Used with Nauticomp specified cables. Cutting and rejoining
(Splice) these cables can
compromise EMC performance and must be avoided.
NOTE:
If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable; this ferrite should not be removed.
