Mounting the Display Unit

Page 4

You will want to decide where to mount the display unit.  Mount the display 

in a place where you have good visibility and a convenient reach to the dial. 

(The outside diameter is 4” and 4-1/2” with the trim ring.)

Using  template  (A)  provided,  you  have  two  options  for  mounting  the 

Standard display unit:  

 

Type I

 

Template

: Cut a 3-3/4” diameter hole (3.750). Use the    

mounting strap provided and place it over the two studs, and against the 

back  of  the  panel.  Place  the  #6-32  UNC  thread  nuts  provided  onto  the 

studs and snug the nuts to 60 

inch ounce

 max torque (.42Nm).(Do Not 

Overtighten nuts) (The use of thread lock compound like loctite might be 

a good idea.) The standard stud will accommodate a panel 1/2” thick (.50) 

with the trim ring and 3/4” (.750) without the trim ring.

OR

 

Type II Template

: Cut a hole using the template as guide and drill holes as 

marked for the studs on the back of the unit to go through, this eliminates 

the need of the strap. The unit is held in place using the studs on the back of 

the face plate and the nuts provided. (Do not overtighten nuts on the studs)

Multi-Mount Panel Installation:

Using the template provided, you will be drilling holes to provide 

access to the back of the display, the deckmount switch, the handheld 

and the four (4) mounting studs.  

Place the #6-32 UNC thread nuts provided onto the studs and snug the nuts 

to 60 

inch ounce

 max torque (.42Nm).(Do Not Overtighten nuts) (The use 

of thread lock compound like loctite might be a good idea.)
