Chapter 2: Installing the Display Unit
15
CAUTION: Installation
Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other
items behind the selected location before proceeding.
Make sure there is sufficient rear access for mounting
and cabling.
1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clear-
ance behind the panel, is required.
2. Attach the template included with the flush mount kit to the selected loca-
tion, using masking or self-adhesive tape, taking care that it is level.
3. Use a hole saw to make a pilot hole in each corner of the cut-out area.
4. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
5. Detach the mount frame from the unit by removing the four mounting screws.
Make sure that the unit fits in the area that has been cut out.
6. Drill four 3/16 in (4.5 mm) holes as indicated on the template to accept the
retaining bolts.
7. Place the gasket onto the display unit.
8. Connect the cables to the display, avoiding tight bends.
9. Screw the 4 supplied studs into the rear of the unit.
10. Slide the unit into the console.
11. From the rear, attach the supplied nuts onto the studs and tighten until
secure.
2.2 Cable Runs
When installing system cables consider the following:
• All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and
exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close
to moving or hot objects.
• Avoid acute bends.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a water-
tight feed-through should be used.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable
and tie it out of the way.
• Do not pull cables through a bulkhead or deckhead using a cord attached to
the connector. This could damage the connections.
