The unit can be installed above or below decks.
The unit must be mounted on a horizontal and level surface. The unit may be mounted upright or upside-down, but the unit must be level within 5º of pitch and 5º of roll (compared with the vessel’s neutral position when at rest and normally loaded).

The unit can be mounted on a vertical surface such as a bulkhead or mast etc, using the supplied bracket.
The unit location must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from any source of magnetic interference, such as compasses and electrical cables.
Choose a location where the unit will be safe from physical damage and excessive vibration.
Choose a location where the unit will not be subjected to a load or force.
Mount away from any source of heat or potential flammable hazards, such as fuel vapor.
The unit should be mounted in a location where the diagnostics LED is viewable.
The unit must be mounted with the LED ‘arrow’ on the top of the unit pointing towards the vessel’s bow and must be in parallel alignment with the longitudinal axis (centerline) of the vessel.
