Bulkhead or panel mounting
For bulkhead or panel mounting of the F1 DSC Radiotelephone two mounting kits are
available: a flush mounting kit and a simple bulkhead/panel mounting kit.
Flush mount kit (kit number 84-412)
The flush mounting kit when installed properly provides a watertight installation of the
radio in a bulkhead or instrument panel. Before the hole is cut in the bulkhead or the
instrument panel, make sure that the space behind the bulkhead or instrument panel is
sufficient to accommodate the radio and connecting cables. In the illustration the
dimensions of the required space are shown. The illustration also shows an exploded
view of the assembly process.
A cutout template is provided in the flush mounting kit; take particular care to be
accurate when cutting the hole. If the hole is too large the installation may not be
watertight or the installation may appear untidy.
When using the flush mount kit the connection point for the fist mike must be changed
because the flush mount covers the usual connection of the fist mike at the bottom of
the fascia. As shown below the fist mike connection becomes part of the flush mount
kit. A wire loom is provided to connect the fist mike to the rear of the radio.
