Installing the Impeller Sensor & Impeller
The location of the Impeller effects the readings it gives due to the changing turbulence
along the boat. We recommend that the Impeller is mounted near the cox, for
convenience, and that is then automatically calibrated by your CoxOrb Platinum.
1. Place the Impeller on the hull in your preferred location.
2. Look down the length of the boat to set its angle and mark its mounting location.
3. Clean the base of the Impeller with one of the alcohol swabs provided and allow to
completely dry.
4. Peel the liner from the top, red text, side of the 3M Waterproof Command Strip and fit
it with the tab at the rear of the Impeller. Trim off the excess material at the front end.
5. Clean the mounting location on the hull thoroughly with the alcohol swabs provided
and allow to completely dry.
6. Peel the remaining liner from the 3M Waterproof Command Strip and firmly press the
impeller into place.
7. Wait 12 hours before using the boat as the adhesive requires that amount of time to
cure.
Note - The Impeller can be easily removed by pulling on the exposed end of the 3M
Command Strip.
Important
-
When transporting a boat with an Impeller fitted, it is important to
use the Impeller clip provided to stop the Impeller spinning and wearing out. It is
designed to work at 15mph in water, not 60mph in air!

Installing the Impeller Sensor
The sensor must be located within 30mm/1.25 inches of the impeller. Find the best
position by having someone blow on the impeller whilst you move the sensor around.
1. Clean the desired location with the alcohol swabs provided and leave to dry.
2. Peel the liner from the 3M adhesive strip on the Impeller Sensor.
3. Place the Impeller Sensor in desired location.
4. Use cable tie blocks and ties provided to secure any excess cable.
