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 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

holes for the self-tapping screw, the fixing stud holes and
the mounting bracket.

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.
