1.2 Network Fish Finder
The network fish finder can be installed on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep the following points in mind:
• This unit meets the waterproofing standard IP55. However, do not install the unit outdoors.
• The operating temperature range of this unit is -15 to 55°C (-27 to 99°F). Be sure the mounting
location satisfies this requirement.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors and gen-
erators.
• Leave slack in cables for maintenance and servicing ease.
• A magnetic compass may receive interference from the network fish finder if it is placed too
close to the network fish finder. Observe the compass safe distances noted in the safety instruc-
tions to prevent interference to the magnetic compass.
• For mounting on a bulkhead, the connectors must face downward.
Fasten the network fish finder to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5×20), refer-
ring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting dimensions.
