Panel mountingMounting

Before mounting the product, ensure that you have:

  • Selected a suitable location, ensuring there is nothing behind the mounting surface that may be damaged when drilling / cutting.

  • Identified the cable connections and route that the cables will take.

  • Drilled out the mounting holes on the unit.

  • Removed the front bezel.

  1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the panel is required.
  2. Fix the supplied mounting template to the selected location, using masking or self-adhesive tape.
  3. Using a suitable hole saw (the size is indicated on the template), make a hole in each corner of the cut-out area.
  4. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
  5. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area and then file around the rough edge until smooth.
  6. Drill 4 holes as indicated on the template to accept the fixings.
  7. Remove the backings from the supplied gasket.
  8. Place the gasket in position on the back of the unit and press firmly onto the flange.
  9. Connect the power, and other cables to the unit.
  10. Slide the unit into place and secure using the fixings provided.
  11. Attach the front bezel.
Note

The supplied gasket provides a seal between the unit and a suitably flat and stiff mounting surface or binnacle. The gasket should always be used. It may also be necessary to use a marine-grade sealant if the mounting surface or binnacle is not entirely flat and stiff or has a rough surface finish.
