Overview | NSS evo3 Installation Manual
Installation
Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut.
For overall width and height requirements, refer to "Dimensional drawings" on page 51.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged,
or where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.
The unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see
the screen.
The unit has a high-contrast screen and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results
install the unit out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from
windows or bright objects.
Consider the optimum viewing angle when determining installation, refer to "Viewing angle" on
page 12.
The mounting location may affect the internal GPS receiver. Test the unit in its intended
location to ensure satisfactory reception. An external GPS source can be added to overcome
poor reception areas.
Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.
Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel.
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.
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.
– refer to "Technical specifications" on page 49.

Bracket mounting
U-bracket mounting
1. Place the bracket in the desired mounting location. Ensure that the chosen location has
enough height to accommodate the unit fitted in the bracket, and allows tilting of the
unit. Also adequate space is required on both sides to allow tightening and loosening of
the knobs.
2. Mark the screw locations using the bracket as a template, and drill pilot holes. Use
fasteners suited to the mounting surface material. If the material is too thin for selftappers, reinforce it, or mount the bracket with machine screws and large washers. Use
only 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners.
3. Screw down the bracket.
4. Mount the unit to the bracket using the knobs. Hand tighten only. The ratchet teeth in the
bracket and unit ensure a positive grip and prevent the unit from changing from the
desired angle.
Flush mounting
Use the separate Mouting template to flush mount the unit.
Ú
Note: Remember to attach the foam gasket (self adhesive ) to rear of unit before flush
mounting.

Installation | NSS evo3 Installation Manual
Bezel Fitment and Removal
When fitting bezels, ensure hook tabs on back of each bezel recess in to opposing slots on
screen frame. Once flush with front surface of screen, slide top bezel to the left, and bottom
bezel to the right to lock in to place.
The bezel trim have been designed to be very low profile, and therefore fully conceal the
locking tabs that keep them from being accidentally disengaged from the mounting flange.
To release the locking tab, gently lever the centre of the bezel trim away from the mounting
flange. To remove the cover, simultaneously slide it sideways; to the right for the top bezel,
and to the left for the bottom bezel.
Transducer mounting location
Transducer location selection and installation are two of the most critical steps in sonar
installation. To function properly the transducer must be in the water at all times, and in a
location that has a smooth flow of water when the boat is moving.
Research
Before starting the installation of the transducer, check the following:
• Find out if the boat builder has a recommended installation location
• Establish the direction of rotation of the propeller(s)
• With the boat traveling at cruising speed, watch the water flow behind the boat to find
the area with the smoothest flow (least bubbles)
Select a transducer location
The primary aim is to stay clear of propeller and hull generated turbulence, while mounting
the transducer as close to the center of the vessel as possible.

Installation | NSS evo3 Installation Manual

1 Avoid mounting within 1 m (3.3’) to port (left) of propeller
2 Conventional clockwise propeller rotation
3 Avoid mounting within 7.5 cm (3“) to starboard of propeller
4 Best mounting location - undisturbed water flow
5 Planing strake - avoid mounting behind here
Ú
Note: Reverse the distance guides (1 & 3) from propeller where engine is of
counterclockwise configuration.
Ú
Note: Vessels with strakes or ribs on the hull can create large amounts of turbulence at
higher speeds. A good transducer location on these types of boats is between the ribs
closest to the engine.
Ú
Note: If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference caused by
bubbles and turbulence may show onscreen in the form of random lines or dots. The
unit could also lose bottom signal when the boat is on plane.
Ú
Note: Trim tabs vary in the amount of turbulence they create as they are adjusted, stay
clear of these.
Transducer installation
For transducer installation information, refer to separate installation instructions included
with the transducer.

Wiring
Guidelines
Don't:
• make sharp bends in the cables
• run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors
• run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or
high frequency signal cables.
• run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems
• run cables over sharp edges or burrs
Do this:
• make drip and service loops
• use cable-tie on all cables to keep them secure
• solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables.
Extending cables should be done with suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat
shrink. Keep joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.
• leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and unplugging of cables
Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power
off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical
shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the
power supply is compatible with the unit.
Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to
(+) DC with the supplied fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse
rating).
Power connection
The unit is designed to be powered by a 12 or 24 V DC system. It is protected against reverse
polarity, under voltage and over voltage (for a limited duration).
A fuse should be fitted to the positive supply; 3 A for the 7” and 9” units, and 5 A for the 12”
and 16” units.

The yellow Power Control wire in the power cable can either be an input that will turn on the
unit when power is applied, or an output that turns on other devices when the unit is
powered on. It can be configured at the installation stage to control the power state of
displays and compatible devices. When commissioning the system, the unit can be set to be
a Power Control Slave or Power Control Master.
Power Control configuration options of the unit are:
• Unit turns on when power key pressed: Yellow wire not connected.
• Unit turns on when power source is turned on: Common red and yellow wires.
• Unit turns on with power key, as well as other compatible devices such as Broadband
Radar: Yellow wires connected together (Power Control Bus). (Set one or more displays to
be a Power Control Master.)
Power Control unconnected
Device will turn on and off when the power button on the front of the unit is pressed. Leave
the yellow Power Control wire disconnected and tape or heat-shrink the end to prevent
shorting.
