Installation considerations
When installing the FI-70, keep the following points in consideration:
Select a well-ventilated location.
Select a location with minimal vibrations and shock.
Keep the FI-70 away from heat sources.
Observe the compass safe distances.
(Standard: 0.30 m, Steering: 0.30 m)
Select a location with a smooth surface.
(1 mm flatness or less)
Keep cable lengths in mind when selecting the
mounting location.
When not in use, fit the rubber cover to the FI-70.
Leave sufficient room surrounding the FI-70 to allow
fitting of the rubber cover.
Referring to the outline drawings at the back of the
handbook, leave sufficient space for service and
maintenance.
Where the rear connector or T-connectors may get
wet, waterproof the connectors. (See page 4 for how
to waterproof the connectors.)
Flushmount Installation
Using the supplied template, mark and cut a hole in the installation location.
Fit the supplied stud bolts (M3×40, 2 pcs) to the rear of the FI-70.
Note:
Do not use tools to fit or insert the stud bolts.
Fit the supplied flushmount sponge to the rear of the FI-70.
Set the FI-70 into the mounting hole.
Fit and tighten the washers and butterfly nut.

When retrofitting from the FI-50 series unit to the FI-70,
drill new bolt holes to fit the stud bolts for the FI-70. The
FI-70 can then be installed in place of the FI-50 series unit.

The optional frontmount kit OP26-29 may be used to install the FI-70 where access behind the console is limited.
Note: Do not fit the flushmount sponge to the FI-70. The unit will not lock into the frontmount panel.
Using the template supplied with the frontmount kit, cut a hole in the mounting location.

Fit the frontmount panel to the console with four self-tapping screws (supplied).

Preventing water seepage from the mounting holesPreventing water seepage from the mounting holes
Where there is a risk of water seepage behind the unit or through the
screw holes, apply marine sealant around the FI-70 for waterproofing.
Referring to the figure on the right, apply masking tape to the soft
cover locking points to prevent marine sealant from blocking the
locking points.
There are eight locking points in total, four at the top rear of the unit
and four at the bottom rear of the unit.
Marine sealant blocking these locking points will prevent the soft
cover from fitting to the FI-70.
Removing the FI-70 from the frontmount panelRemoving the FI-70 from the frontmount panel
To remove the FI-70 from the frontmount panel,
release the pin holders at the back of the panel,
then remove the FI-70.
Failure to release the pin holders when removing
the FI-70 may damage the FI-70, the pin holders
or the pins.

Use the included cable to connect the
FI-70 NMEA2000 port to the CAN bus
(NMEA2000) network backbone.
Fabricate a ground wire (IV-1.25sq., local supply) with
a closed-end terminal.
Unfasten the ground terminal screw, then referring to
the figure below, connect the ground wire to the
ground terminal of the FI-70.
Connect the loose end of the ground wire to the ship’s
ground terminal.
