3.4 Trunnion bracket mounting The supplied trunnion bracket can be used to mount your display on a horizontal surface. Ensure you have chosen a suitable mounting location for your display, with sufficient headroom to allow the display’s angle to be adjusted or the display to be removed if necessary. If installing ‘above head’, take extra care to ensure the knobs are tightened sufficiently to prevent them coming undone due to vibration when underway.
3.5 Surface mounting The supplied mounting gasket and fixings can be used to surface mount the display. Before mounting the display, ensure that you have: • chosen a suitable location, using the guidance provided; • identified the required cable connections and routed the cables to the mounting location. 1.
Page 29
6. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area and then file around any rough edges until smooth. 7. Drill 4 holes as indicated on the template to accept the fixings. 8. Place the gasket onto the rear of the display and press firmly onto the flange. 9.
• Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine. • Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of correct quality and gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run).
• The suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker is dependent on the number of devices you are connecting. If in doubt consult an authorized Raymarine dealer. • Your product’s power cable may have an in-line fuse fitted, if not then you must add an in-line fuse / breaker to the positive wire of your product’s power connection.
