3 Installation
• The installation includes 5 major steps:
1. Read the installation and operation manual.
2. Plan where to install the RaceBox.
3. Run the cables.
4. Install the RaceBox.
5. Learn the functions and setting up your system.
Before you begin drilling ... think about how you can make the installation as neat
and simple as your boat will allow. Plan where to position the transducer and
instrument. Think about leaving space for additional instruments in the future.

A few ”do nots” you should consider:
−
Do not cut the cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the RaceBox so
it can be disconnected for inspection without having to disconnect all
attached cables.
−
Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.
−
Do not run cables close to fluorescent light sources, engine or radio
transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances.
−
Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to accomplish.

The following material is needed:
Wire cutters and strippers.
Small and large Philips and a small flat head screw driver.
Hole saw to cut a hole for the instrument back of 63 mm (2 ½ ").

Plastic cable ties
If you are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an experienced
technician.

3.1 Mounting
First, find a suitable mounting location for the Race Box. Any location suitable for the
Nexus Server should serve equally well for the Race Box. You will notice that, just like
the Nexus server, the Race Box only has openings on one side. Also like the server, the
Race Box should be mounted so that it's bottom is against a vertical surface and the
side with the wire openings is oriented downward. This is so that any water which may
inadvertently splash on to the box is more likely to run off the box instead of into it. The
Race Box need not be mounted in close proximity to the server if this is your
preference, as long as you can connect a serial cable between the Race Box and the
Server.
Once you have located a suitable mounting location, use the four supplied mounting
