Optional R-A-M mounting system.
Bracket Installation
Mount the IntelliMap 500C in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the IntelliMap 500C to attach the power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables. (a drawing on the next page shows the dimensions of a gimbal-mounted IntelliMap 500C.)
Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin fiber- glass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.
Front
Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope
toward the front of your unit.
Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation. Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference.
