1 Installation
• The installation includes 6 major steps:
1. Read the installation and operation manual.
2. Plan where to install the transducers and instruments.
3. Run the cables.
4. Install the transducers and instruments.
5. Take a break and admire your installation.
6. Learn the functions and calibrate your system.
Before you begin drilling ... think about how you can make the installation as neat
and simple as your boat will allow. Plan where to position the transducers, WSI-box
and instruments. Think about leaving space for additional instruments in the future.
• A few ”do nots” you should consider:
− Do not cut the cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the Inertface box so
it can be disconnected for inspecti on w ithout having to disconnect all
attached cables.
− Do not place sealant behind the displa y. The instrument gasket eliminates
the need for sealant.
− Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.
− Do not run cables close to fluore scent light source s, engine or radio
transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances.
− Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to do.
• The following material is needed:
Wire cutters and strippers.
Small Philips and small flat head screw driver.
Hole saw for the instrument clearance hole 63 mm (2½").
5 mm (
If y ou are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an experienced

earth / screen). Attach the 4 cable protectors
to the wires using a pair of flat pliers.
