INSTALLATION
You will need to find a place to mount the LC-507 that will make
it easy to view and reach. You must provide the unit with power
and mount the transducer and sensor assembly in an effective loca-
tion.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
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 freely without the
cables binding or stretching
behind the unit. Once you have
found the spot, remove the unit
from the gimbal bracket and
securely attach the bracket to the mounting surface. The screws pro-
vided are for wood/carpet or dash mounting applications. An
optional removable swivel bracket is available. See page 32.
Note - A Decorative Wire Cover has been
included to help make your rigging job look
good. Use this to cover up the large hole you’ll
need to drill to fit the connector through.
CONNECTING THE POWER
Plug the 2 pin connector into the back of the unit. Find the clos-
est source of 12 volts and route the cord to it. Keep the cord away
from sharp metal edges and avoid tight places where the cord may
get crushed. Connect the white wire to positive and the black wire
to negative. If the cord provided is not long enough, more can be
added. Use 18 gauge wire minimum. Install the included 2 amp in-
line fuse, placed in the positive line, as close to the power source as
possible, to protect against shorts in the wiring.
