SITING THE PILOT DISPLAY HEAD
All Network Instruments are designed for mounting on or below deck.
Select a display site that is:
•
At a convenient position within easy reach of the helmsman
•
On a smooth and flat surface
•
At a compass safe distance 100mm (4")
•
Reasonably well protected from physical damage
•
Accessible from behind for fitting locking studs if required
•
The rear boss of the unit has a breather hole to prevent
condensation, protect the rear cover from direct splashes of water.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
• Use the cutting template supplied to mark the centres of the holes
for the self-tapping screw, the fixing stud holes and the mounting
bracket.
• The template allows 4mm (5/32") between adjacent units or
118mm/ 4 11/16” between centres for the suncover. Increase this
distance if required to maximum of 60mm (2 3/8") between units or
180mm (7 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(1/8”) drill for the self-tapping screws.
• 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.
• Carefully pass the cable tails through the mounting bracket hole,
connect the power, interconnecting and NMEA input cables to the
display head (if fitted).
