Mounting the Display Unit
Choose a location that is FLAT, free from excessive heat and vibration, and which is convenient
for routing the Display Cable. The display is best viewed when the screen is mounted square
on.
The Display Unit has been designed for above or below decks mounting. It can be panel
mounted onto a bulkhead, or mounted via a U-bracket (ICS Part Number ICS.6020.00)
Avoid direct sunlight. If this cannot be avoided then protect the unit when not in use.
The Display Unit should be located at least 0.5metres away from any transmitting equipment
including mobile phones, GPS antennas, VHF radios, Radar etc.
Surface Mounting the Display Unit
You will need a 104mm (4") hole saw, a 3mm drill for fixing screws and a Phillips head
screwdriver.
Follow the instructions:
Choose a flat surface on which to mount the Display Unit.
Use the drilling template supplied to mark out the centres for the 104mm hole and the two
3mm holes.
Drill the holes.
Remove the two screw covers from the Display Unit.
Apply a releasing agent (grease or petroleum jelly) to the rubber seal around the back of the
NAV6. This will prevent the seal from sticking to the bulkhead surface over time.
Position the NAV6 over the holes and insert the screws.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the screws.
Clip the screw covers in place.
Route the display cable to the location where the Receiver Unit will be installed.
U-bracket Mounting
Please follow the fitting instructions contained within the optional U-bracket mounting kit.
Installing the Receiver Unit
The Receiver Unit is not waterproof and care should be taken to install it where there is no
possibility of water ingress.
The Receiver Unit should be located at least 0.5metres away from any other electronic
equipment including GPS antennas, Radar etc.
Ideally the receiver unit should be mounted at least 0.5metres from the display unit.
Place the receiver in the desired location at least 0.5metre away from any other electronic
equipment. The receiver should be mounted on a vertical surface with the connector at the
base of the unit.
Mark out the two mounting holes.
Move the receiver and drill the two mounting holes to suit the No.8 screws provided (the holes
size will depend upon what material you are drilling into).
