Installation
Installation guidelines
Choose the mounting location carefully, make sure that there are no
hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel before you
drill or cut. Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will
not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat
builder, or marine electronics installer.
Don´t:
• Mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold
• Mount any part where it might be submerged
• Mount any part where it will interfere with the operation,
launching, or retrieving of the boat
Do:
• Test the unit in its intended location to ensure satisfactory
wireless and GPS performance. Metal and carbon materials are
known to impact the performance in a negative way. A well
placed external GPS source and/or wireless module can be
added to overcome poor performance
• Consider the optimum viewing angles
• Consider the overall width and height requirements
• Consider access to the card reader
• Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables
• Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended
mounting location
Ú
Note:
Where flush mounted, the enclosure should be dry and
well ventilated. In small enclosures, it may be required to fit
forced cooling.
Warning:
Inadequate ventilation and subsequent
overheating of the unit may cause unreliable operation
and reduced service life. Exposing the unit to
conditions that exceeds the specifications could
invalidate your warranty. Refer to the technical
specifications in the
"Technical specifications"
on page 51.
