AcuBrite 21-Nav Manual
Power connections
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the battery isolator switch, or at a
DC power distribution panel. Acubrite21-Nav recommends that power is fed directly to the display via its own
dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to the power
connection. If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit, you MUST fit an in-line
breaker or fuse to the positive (red) lead of the power cable.
• Installation angle - the display should be mounted at an angle. Mounting it in a flat plane is not
recommended due to increased heat absorption.
• Viewing angle - this LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including viewing angle.
However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays vary slightly with viewing angle.
• Environment - to prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the display unit; If the space
behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan, it will help in keeping the unit’s temperature down
when mounted in direct sunlight.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY VENTILATE THE UNIT COULD INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although the display unit is
waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from
prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray. DO NOT place the display near to a heat source.
