Cabling Route
When planning the location for the unit, consider the best route for running the
cable between the receiver and GPS display unit or to the rest of an integrated
system. Ideally, you should try to route the cable so it is:
• hidden from view
• separated as far as possible from other cables (to prevent interference)
When running cable, always observe the following guidelines:
• if a cable has to be fed through the deck, use a good quality deck grommet
• where cables are fed through holes, use grommets to prevent chafing
• secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard
• wherever possible, route cables away from fluorescent lights, engines and
radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference
3.2 Mounting the Receiver
When you have selected a suitable location, follow the installation instructions
for
Pole Mounting or Surface Mounting .
Pole Mounting
Note: You will need to obtain a suitable pole with 1 inch 14 TPI thread.
1. Securely attach the pole mount base to a suitable pole or rail mount bracket.
2. Pass the cable through either:
A: the center hole of the pole mount base, or
B: the side exit channel
Note: If you intend to use the side exit channel, remove the two plastic tabs obstructing
the channel. If you do not remove these tabs before using the cable channel, you could
damage the cable.
3. Check the cable is positioned correctly, then secure the receiver to the pole
mount base using the two M4 screws provided.
