7. Secure by tightening the thumb screw until it is hand tight.
The thumb screw includes a hex head which can be used to provide
extra tightening, or to help with removal.
For extra tightening, once hand tight, add half a turn using a 3 mm A/F

7.5 Mounting the gateway
Procedure for mounting the gateway. Alternatively, the gateway can be
secured in a suitable location using cable ties.
Pre-requisites:
• Ensure you have followed the location requirements guidance when
choosing your mounting location.
• When mounting the gateway, it should be mounted vertically on a flat
surface.
• Ensure that the provided fixings are suitable for the mounting surface
material and thickness.
1. Unscrew the cover’s retaining screw from the front of the gateway.
The screw is captive, so it cannot be removed completely.
2. Use either the gateway as a guide or use the supplied mounting template
to mark the hole locations on the mounting surface.
3. Drill 2 pilot holes at the marked locations.
Important:
The pilot hole size must be suitable for the material type and thickness of
the mounting surface.
4. Secure the gateway to the mounting surface using the fixings.
5. The supplied ring crimp terminal and a suitable cable (not supplied)
should be used to create a ground connection. The ring crimp terminal
should then be connected to the top fixing hole so that it is secured when
tightening the fixings. Connect the other end of the cable to the vessel’s
RF ground point. If no RF ground is available, connect directly to the
vessel’s negative (–) battery terminal.
