2.1.6 RAM Mount Kit
In some gliders it is preferable to mount the display on a mounting arm that is attached to the
instrument panel. This is the case when there is not enough room in the panel to mount the unit on
the panel. When mounted on a mounting arm, the unit takes‐up less panel real estate. It is sometimes
acceptable to partially block some instruments. Most customers will find that mounting the ClearNav
directly on the instrument panel makes for a cleaner and classier installation than the RAM arm option,
but those that prefer the RAM arm option will find that it is a rugged and reliable option. The optional
2 foot DB15 Extension cable is highly recommended for a neat installation. The Nexus Wiring Board is
normally mounted behind the instrument panel with the DB15 Extension cable running from the
ClearNav Display to the Nexus Wiring Board.
The kit includes:
• Short RAM "B" size arm with 1" balls and metal bases
• Panel reinforcement plate and mounting hardware
• Mounting adapter for attaching the RAM arm to the ClearNav
