Remote Keypad
The Remote Keypad is completely waterproof so that it can be mounted wherever is
most convenient on your boat*. It can be stacked with the Remote Display on the bulk-
head, mounted alone in the cockpit or pod mounted on a steering pedestal for easy
access. As the keypad is a flushmount assembly, keep in mind that it should be
mounted on a relatively flat surface to avoid unnecessary stress on the watertight seal.
If the chosen spot is not perfectly flat, use a small block of wood to make a flat mount-
ing plate.
3. Checking Cable Lengths
At this stage you can determine if the provided cable is sufficient for your needs. If it
is not, there are two options:
1. move the critical component to a new location that can be reached by the provided
cable.
2. Purchase an extension cable available in 15' and 25' lengths by contacting your local
dealer. The system may have up to 100' of extension cable added without losing
signal integrity.
Never try to extend or cut the display cable keypad cable or sensor cable. This will
not only seriously damage your compass, but will also result in voiding your war-
ranty. The only cables that you can extend yourself are the power cable wires, and
the NMEA 0183 interface wires.
4. Mounting
Mounting is as critical to the performance of the system as the right location, so make
sure that you or whoever undertakes the task fully understands the objectives.
Sensor Unit
Before mounting the sensor, care must be taken to align the arrow on the top of the
sensor and/or the nib protruding from the front of the base of the sensor
parallel with
or along the centerline of the boat. The arrow must be facing forward.
