Unit Installation
The GPS 152 with external antenna can be fl ush mounted on a fl at panel of .08-.52” thickness
using the cam lobe feature on its mounting bracket
To fl ush mount the GPS 152 unit:
1. Cut a 4.25”W x 4.25”H (108 x 108 mm) hole in the panel.
2. Place the GPS 152 into the hole from the front until the fl ange rests against the mounting surface.
3. From the back of the panel, loosely attach the bracket such that the slot in the ratchet area points
away from the mounting panel.
4. Rotate the bracket downward until the panel is pinched tightly between the unit’s fl ange and
bracket lobe (fi gure 1).
5. Tighten the knobs and connect the power/data and antenna cables. Note: if the panel is too thick to
allow use of the supplied knobs, two M6 screws may be used to secure the bracket.
The International version of the GPS 152, with external antenna, can be fl ush mounted on a fl at
panel with its existing mounting bracket.
To fl ush mount the International version GPS 152 unit:
1. Remove the four M5 screws from the back of the unit and remove the mounting bracket.
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, outline the center relief hole and mark the location of
the four screw holes centers on your bulkhead or other surface (fi gure 2).
3. Cut the 2.75” (70 mm) relief hole from the panel and drill the four 0.20” (5.08 mm) screw holes.
4. From the front, place the GPS 152 into the relief hole until it rests fl ush against the mounting
surface.
5. Secure the unit to the mounting surface using the M5 screws. For thick mounting surfaces, insert the
M5 screws directly thorough the drilled holes (fi gure 3). For thin panels, place the mounting bracket
on the back side of the panel for more support. Connect the power/data and antenna cables.
