Mount

Connect 

the 

JST ZHR-5 cable

 to the 5 pin 

port on the bottom of 

FYXnav

.  Route cable 

through channel in adhesive.  

Mount

 

FYXnav

 

to a clean, smooth surface.  The Ping logo on 

the top of the FYXNav should have an unob-

structed view of the sky.

Mount FYXnav

 using the provided 

double-

sided adhesive.

  

Remove both top and bottom backing from provided 

double sided tape.  Adhere double sided tape to the 

underside of FYXnav in the correct orientation so the 

barometer and 5-pin connector are not blocked by 

the adhesive.

Prior to mounting confirm all cable lengths 

will be sufficient to reach power, autopilot and 

FYXnav GPS. 

 

Mount
