  4. Place the large sealing ring into the groove on the upper side of the mounting tray.
  5. Pull the SeaTalk NG and DeviceNet cables through the mounting surface hole and the mounting tray. Plug in the cable connectors on the underside of the unit and secure as follows:
    • SeaTalk NG cable — secure by rotating the locking collar clockwise 2 clicks.

    • DeviceNet cable — secure by turning the cable connector’s collar clockwise until tight.
