Touchscreen location requirementsTouchscreens offer an alternative to using physical buttons to control your display. Full productfunctionality can be achieved using the Touchscreen.Note:Touchscreen performance can be affected by the installation environment, specificallyTouchscreen displays installed above decks, where it will be open to the elements may exhibit thefollowing:• Hot Touchscreen temperature — If the display is mounted where it will be exposed to prolongedperiods of direct sunlight, the touchscreen may get very hot.• Erroneous Touchscreen performance — Exposure to prolonged rain and / or water wash overmay cause the display to respond to ‘false touches’, caused by the rain/water hitting the screen.If, due to the required installation location, exposure to these elements is anticipated then itis recommended that you consider:• locking the Touchscreen and using the physical buttons instead — HybridTouch displays• attaching a third-party ‘display hood accessory’ to reduce direct sunlight exposure and thevolume of water that the display is exposed to.• installing a remote keypad such as the RMK-9 and operating the display remotely — Touch-onlydisplays• upgrading to a HybridTouch display and using the physical buttons instead — Touch-onlydisplaysWi-Fi location requirementsA number of factors can influence Wi-Fi performance, it is important to ensure you test the Wi-Fiperformance, at the desired location before installing Wi-Fi enabled products.Distance and signal strengthThe distance between Wi-Fi products should always be kept to a minimum. Do not exceed themaximum stated range of your Wi-Fi product (Maximum range will vary for each device).Wi-Fi performance degrades over distance so products farther away will receive less networkbandwidth. Products installed close to their maximum Wi-Fi range may experience slow connectionspeeds, signal drop outs or not being able to connect at all.Line of sight and obstaclesFor best results the Wi-Fi product should have a clear, direct line of sight to the product it will beconnected to. Any physical obstructions can degrade or even block the Wi-Fi signal.The construction of your vessel can also have an impact on Wi-Fi performance. For example, metalstructural bulkheads and roofing will reduce and in certain situations, block the Wi-Fi signal.If the Wi-Fi signal passes through a bulkhead containing power cables this can also degrade Wi-Fiperformance.Reflective surfaces such as metal surfaces, some types of glass and even mirrors can drasticallyeffect performance or even block the Wi-Fi signal.Interference and other equipmentWi-Fi products should be installed at least 1m (3 ft) away from:• other Wi-Fi enabled products• transmitting products that send wireless signals in the same frequency range• other electrical, electronic or electromagnetic equipment that may generate interferenceInterference from other peoples Wi-Fi products can also cause interference with your products. Youcan use a Wi-Fi analyzer tool to assess the best Wi-Fi channel (channel not in use or used by leastamount of devices) for you to use.Installation 27
