A reasonably
fl
at area of the hull should be chosen for transducer locations and the surface should be well
prepared before mounting (see preparation and mounting instructions below).
Typical Position:
Installing the Control Box
The control box is splash proof to IP66 and can be installed in any convenient location, preferably
above the water line.
1. Unscrew the four screws on the cover of the control box. These screws will not un-screw
completely, as they are designed to stay with the cover. Remove the cover and place it aside.
2. The mounting screws are placed in the same holes as the cover screws.
Use four suitable screws to secure the control box.
3. Mark the location for the four corner mounting screws. Using a drill bit, drill the mounting
holes. Use caution to make sure that you are not drilling into the hull of the boat.
4. Locate the 24 volt DC power source. This can be either a protected circuit from vessels
electrical panel, or it can be direct to the battery via a local 5 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Use stranded cable rated at 5 amps or more. Leave switched off until testing the installation.
5. Connect cable from terminal A, negative and B, positive via the supplied cable gland to a
suitable permanently on, protected 24 volt DC supply.
6. IMPORTANT! When using optional shore power, connections should be made to the
terminal block marked C, negative and D, positive.
When the optional AC shore power supply LPF60-30 converter is ordered,
power will automatically be taken from the shore supply and not the battery.
7. Replace the control box cover.
