NETWORK COMPASS USER MANUAL
INSTALLATION
The display heads are supplied with a clip-in mounting bracket which allows for easy
installation. Access from behind is not necessary to secure the unit in place. However, to
prevent theft and permanently fix the unit in position, locking studs and thumb nuts are
supplied.
SITING THE DISPLAY UNIT
All Network Instruments are designed for mounting on or below deck. A mounting
position should be selected where they are:
• Easy to read by the helmsman
• On a smooth and flat surface
• At least 100mm (4") from a compass
• Accessible from behind for fitting locking studs if required
MOUNTING THE DISPLAY UNIT
Use the cutting template supplied to mark the centres of the holes for the self-tapping
screws, the fixing stud holes, and the mounting bracket.
• The template allows 4mm (5/32") between adjacent units for the suncover, increase
this distance if required to maximum of 60mm (2 3/8") between units or 180mm (3
1/8") between centres. For greater distances between units extension cables are
available.
• Use a 70mm (2 3/4") diameter hole-cutter for the mounting bracket hole.
• Use a 2.9mm drill for the self-tapping screw holes. Use a 5mm (3/32") drill for the
locking stud holes.
• Secure the mounting bracket to the bulkhead with the self-tapping screws supplied.
• Fit the rubber sealing gasket around the mounting bracket.
• Screw the locking studs into the back of the display head (if required).
• Carefully pass the cable tails through the mounting bracket hole and connect the
cables to the main units.
• Clip the display head into the mounting bracket.
• Secure the instrument with the thumb nuts supplied.
