2 Installation
•
The installation includes 6 major steps:
1. Read the installation and operation manual.
2. Plan where to install the transducers, WSI-box and
instruments.
3. Install the transducers, then the WSI-box and
instruments.
4. Run the cables.
5. Learn the functions and calibrate your system.
•
Before you begin drilling ... think about how you can make
the installation as neat and simple as your boat will allow. Plan
where to position the transducers, WSI-box and instruments.
Think about leaving space for additional instruments in the
future.
•
A few ”do nots” you should consider:
- Do not cut the cables too short. Allow extra cable length at
the WSI-box so it can be disconnected for
inspection without having to disconnect all
attached cables.
- Do not place sealant behind the display. The instrument
gasket eliminates the need for sealant.
- Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.
- Do not run cables close to fluorescent light sources, engine
or radio transmitting equipment to avoid electrical
disturbances.
- Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to do.
•
The following material is needed:
Wire cutters and strippers
Small and large philips and small flat head screw driver
Hole saw for the instrument clearance of 63 mm (2½")
2.8 mm (0.11") drill for the mounting holes
Plastic cable ties
If you are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an
experienced technician.
