2 Installation Installation guidelines Choose the mounting location carefully, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel before you drill or cut. Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat's structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder, or marine electronics installer. Don´t: • Mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold • Mount any part where it might be submerged • Mount any part where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat Do: • Test the unit in its intended location to ensure satisfactory wireless and GPS performance. Metal and carbon materials are known to impact the performance in a negative way. A well placed external GPS source and/or wireless module can be added to overcome poor performance • Consider the optimum viewing angles • Consider the overall width and height requirements • Consider access to the card reader • Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables • Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location Ú Note: Where flush mounted, the enclosure should be dry and well ventilated. In small enclosures, it may be required to fit forced cooling. Warning: Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit may cause unreliable operation and reduced service life. Exposing the unit to conditions that exceeds the specifications could invalidate your warranty.
