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 UNIT
 
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 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 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, connect the cables to the main units. 
• Clip the display head into the mounting bracket.
