Mounting

Both the surface mount and the flush mount options require access to the backside of the mounting location. Verify that there are not any obstructions behind the area where the switch is to be located, e.g., bulkheads, wires, plumbing or hardware. Check that the coax cable from the Master Controller can be routed to this location. Generally, the Point Pad™ should be mounted in a protected area.

Surface Mount

Install the surface mount Point Pad™ by drilling three (3) holes in the dashboard location using the Point Pad™ Surface Mount Template supplied in the Mounting Templates. Mount the Point Pad to the dashboard using the gasket, washers and nuts supplied. Apply a sealant around the bolt holes to protect from moisture intrusion.

Flush Mount

When the flush mount is selected, cut a rectangular hole in the dashboard location using the Point Pad™ Flush Mount Template supplied in the Mounting Templates. Use the gasket, washers, nuts and the two U-Clamps provided to secure the Point Pad™. Apply a sealant around the cut out to protect from moisture intrusion.

Connecting to the Master Controller

The Point Pad™ communicates with the Master Controller via standard television type RG-59 coaxial cable. The connectors are standard “F” type television connectors. The connector on the back of the Point Pad™ is located in the center of the panel for ease of installation. After the coax cable has been routed and the “F” connector is attached to the coax cable, screw the “F” connectors to the Master Controller and the Point Pad™.

Additional Point Pads™ (up to three) may be used with one (1) Master Controller. A standard “T” connector or RG-59 television type splitter is used for each additional Point Pad™. Limit the total length of all coax cable used to 300 feet.
