Installation and wiring
Mounting location
Before installing the BSM-2, consider location and cable
runs necessary to c onnect the module to display unit,
transducer and power so urce.
The mountin g location must allow for required working
area when connecting the cables. Also ensure that the
location allows viewing the unit’s LED indicators.
The units should be mounted with special regar d to the
units’ environmental protection, temperature range and
cable length.
The mountin g surface needs to be structurally strong,
with as little vibration as possible. If possible mount the
unit close to the edges o f a panel to minimize vibratio n.
Do not run the transducer cabling ne a r the BSM-2 power
cables, any VHF antenna coax cables or any DC or AC
power cables. Avoid placing Ethernet cables close to VHF
antennas.
The BSM-2 conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but proper installation
is required to get best use and performance from
this product. Ensure you have as much separation as
possible between different electrical equipment, (see
diagram below).
