Control unit installation
Avoid mounting the control unit(s) where it is easily exposed to
sunlight, as this will shorten the lifetime of the display. If this is
not possible, make sure the units are always covered with the
white protection cover when not used.
Panel mounting
The mounting surface must be flat and even
to within 0.5 mm.
•
Drill the 4 mounting holes and make a
panel cut-out according to supplied
template.
•
Use the supplied gasket (P.N. 22084693)
between the panel and the unit.
•
Use the supplied 19 mm screws to fasten
the control unit to the panel.
•
Apply the front panel corners.
•
Connect the Robnet cable(s) to the control
unit connector(s)
Alternative panel mounting
Note !
This way of mounting is simpler, but will lift
the unit from the panel surface. When
installed adjacent to Simrad MarineLine
equipment there will be a 5,5 mm (0,22”)
difference in height between the autopilot
and the other equipment.
•
Use the template and drill hole(s) only for
the connectors.
•
Place the thick gasket (P.N. 22086029)
between panel and unit, correctly
orientated (see marking on gasket).
•
Follow above panel mounting
instructions but use the supplied 32 mm
screws to fasten the control unit to the panel
Do not over-tighten the mounting screws!
