Installation and wiring
Mounting location
Before installing the BSM-2, consider location and cable
runs necessary to connect the module to display unit,
transducer and power source.
The mounting location must allow for required working
area when connecting the cables. Also ensure that the
location allows viewing the unit’s LED indicators.
The units should be mounted with special regard to the
units’ environmental protection, temperature range and
cable length.
The mounting surface needs to be structurally strong,
with as little vibration as possible. If possible mount the
unit close to the edges of a panel to minimize vibration.
Do not run the transducer cabling near the BSM-2 power
cables, any VHF antenna coax cables or any DC or AC
power cables. Avoid placing Ethernet cables close to VHF
antennas.
The BSM-2 conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but proper installation
is required to get best use and performance from
this product. Ensure you have as much separation as
possible between different electrical equipment, (see
diagram below).
