Instrument Installation

The instrument can be easily installed in different types of instrument panels. Refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5 for the following steps.

1.Select a suitable location for the instrument. When selecting the location for mounting, the following are recommended:

Controls of the instrument must be accessible to the user.

Electrical connections must be routed to the boat system as directly as possible, minimising the length of cable where practical.

Location should provide as much protection from the elements as possible.

The panel for mounting the instrument should be 1/8 to 3/4 inch thick.

The space behind the instrument panel must have a depth of at least 3.75 inches. See Figure 1 for dimensions of the instrument.

2.Drill a 2-inch hole on the instrument panel in the selected location.

3.With the mounting bracket removed, insert the instrument into the hole until the back of the face plate is flush with the outside mounting wall.

4.Slide the bracket over the body of the instrument.

Note:

Orient the bracket in such a manner that it does not cover the buzzer.

5.Tighten the mounting nut until the bracket is secure.
