Vexilar FL-8 - Manual (Page 4)

UNIT INSTALLATION
To make the FL-8 work, you must provide the unit with power
and mount the transducer in an appropriate location.
UNIT INSTALLATION
Find a convenient
place to mount the unit.
This may include a boat
seat, deck, dash, or a
portable case. Make sure
that there is plenty of
room for the unit to tilt
and/or swivel freely
without the cables bind-
ing behind the unit. Once
you have found a spot,
remove the unit from the
gimbal bracket. Securely
attach the bracket to the
mounting surface.
POWER CONNECTION
Plug the flat 3 pin connector into the back of the unit. Find the
closest source of 12 volts and run the cord to it. Keep the cord away
from sharp metal edges and avoid tight places where the cord may get
crushed. Connect the red wire to positive and the black wire to nega-
tive or ground. If the cord provided is not long enough, more can be
added. Use 18 gauge wire minimum. It is recommended that a 1 amp
in-line fuse be placed in the positive line as close to the power source
as possible to protect against any shorts in the wiring.
