Note:
Only four studs are required to mount the camera; two are extra. For
installations with special requirements, substitute other mounting hardware as
needed since the length required depends on the mounting platform thickness.
It may be necessary to supply the following items:
•
Camera grounding strap. The required length varies depending on the boat's
configuration. A ring terminal may be needed for attaching the strap to the
camera’s dedicated stud. This is typically made for16-14 gauge wire and #6 or
M3 stud.
•
Tools including the following:
Wrenches
. 13-mm socket wrench, 10-mm wrench, 7/16 inch wrench, large
adjustable wrench.
Cutters
. Two types of cutters may be needed: one to remove the rubber boot
from the Ethernet cable and one for stripping and terminating the wires for the
PoE injector.
Drill
. The drill size depends on how the camera is mounted. When mounted
from below using the M6 studs, a 6.4-mm diameter drill is required. When
mounting from above by drilling though the base, drill diameter depends on
the choice of fastener size and type.
•
If drilling holes in the mounting plate for a top-down installation, 4 bolts of the
appropriate size and marine grade sealant (3M 4200 or equivalent).
•
Loctite 242 or equivalent thread locker.
•
Maritime grade sealing tape.
If one of the optional methods for controlling the camera will be used, additional
components and steps may be required. See “Installing Optional Components”
on page 26 for more details.
