Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed
dangerous to touch. As a result, the unit must be installed in a location where it cannot be touched during
operation.
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The
temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures
exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure.
Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.
When selecting a mounting location for the black box device, observe these considerations.
• The device must be mounted in a location where it is not submerged.
• The device must be mounted in a location with adequate ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme
temperatures.
• The device should be mounted so the cables can be connected easily.
• To achieve IPX3 water ingress protection and optimal heat sink cooling, the device must be mounted on a
vertical surface with the connectors pointing downward.
• The device can be mounted on a horizontal surface, but such positioning might not achieve IPX3 water
ingress protection.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should be installed at least 15 cm (5.91 in.) away
from a compass.
When selecting a mounting location for the remote control, observe these considerations.
• The remote control must be mounted in a location where there is at least 70 mm (2.75 in.) of clearance
behind the mounting surface and you can access the controls after it is mounted.
• If you need to mount the remote control outside the cabin, it must be mounted in a location well above the
waterline, where it is not submerged.
• If you need to mount the remote control outside the boat, it should be mounted in a location where it will not
be damaged by a docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
Mounting the BB100 Black Box Device
NOTICE
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, use a countersink bit to drill a
clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer
when the screws are tightened.
NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not be suitable for the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location, and determine what screws and other
mounting hardware are needed for the surface.
1 Place the black box device in the mounting location, and mark the location of the pilot holes.
2 Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3 Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner, and examine the other three pilot-hole
marks.
4 Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the mounting surface.
5 Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6 Secure the device to the mounting location.
