INSTALLATION OF THE DISPLAY UNIT
The display unit is supplied with a clip-in mounting bracket
which allows for easy installation. Access from behind is not
necessary to secure the unit in place. However, to prevent
theft and permanently fix the unit in position, locking studs
and thumb nuts are supplied.
SITING THE UNIT
The instrument is designed for mounting on or below deck.
A mounting position should be selected where it is:
• Easy to read by the helmsman
• On a smooth, flat surface
• At least 100mm (4") from a compass
• Protected from direct splashes of water to the rear of the
display case
• Accessible from behind for fitting locking studs if
required.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• 70mm (2¾") hole cutter
• 2.9mm, 5mm drills
• Screwdrivers
• Measuring tape or rule
• Cable clips or ty-wraps.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Use the cutting template supplied to mark the centres of the
holes for the self-tapping screws, the fixing stud holes and
the mounting bracket.
• The template allows 4mm (5/32") between adjacent units
for the suncover. Increase this distance if required to a
maximum of 60mm (2 3/8") between units or 180mm (3
1/8") between centres. For greater distances between
units extension cables are available.
• Use a 70mm (2 3/4") diameter hole cutter for the
mounting bracket hole.
• Use a 2.9mm drill for the self-tapping holes.
• Use a 5mm drill for the locking stud holes.
• Secure the mounting bracket to the bulkhead with the
self-tapping screws supplied.
• Fit the rubber-sealing gasket around the mounting
bracket.
• Screw the locking studs into the back of the display head
(if required for security locking).
• Carefully pass the cable tails through the mounting
bracket hole, connect the plugs and sockets to sensor
cables, power cable and other Network display units as
required.
• Clip the display head into the mounting bracket (it is a
snug fit).
• Secure the instrument with the thumb nuts supplied (if
required).
