Installation
Your Dual Maxi Display may be mounted on a Tacktick Mast Bracket or
directly onto a bulkhead.
External Power
In cases where displays are mounted permanently below decks it will be
necessary to apply an external power source to prevent complete
discharge of the built in battery.
Connections on the rear of the display allow a 9V to 30V DC power
source to be connected. Connections can be made to the vessels DC
system or to a 9V battery pack. It is recommended that permanent
connection is only made when the display is permanently fixed to the
vessel and not when a removable bracket is used.
Connection to a 9V (PP3) battery will fully recharge the internal battery
over a period of 24 hours.
7.1
Bracket mounting
Warning:
Tacktick recommend the use of a Tacktick supplied bracket,
which is designed to optimise the radio reception of the Dual Maxi Display.
Please refer to the installation instructions provided with the bracket.
If using a customised bracket, you should avoid the use of conducting
material (e.g Aluminium, Carbon Fibre, etc). If this is not possible, you
must provide the maximum cut-out area behind each Dual Maxi Display
to allow free circulation around the antenna. See the mounting template
for details of the cutout required. If in doubt, refer to www.tacktick.com.
7.2
Bulkhead mounting
Warning:
If installing your Dual Maxi Display on a carbon fibre or metal
bulkhead, it may be necessary to make a cutout to ensure adequate
radio circulation around the antenna. Refer to the mounting template for
details of the cutout required. If in doubt, refer to www.tacktick.com.
Use the template provided to select a suitable position for mounting.
Ensure the mounting surface is flat.
Leave space between displays for sun covers.
Avoid areas where damage may occur (winch handles, feet, warps etc.)
Check for clarity of vision and ease of access to the control button.
