NSS evo2 overview

The NSS evo2 range of multifunction displays consist of rugged marine displays with built
in powerful marine processors. Display size choices are 6.4”, 9”, 12” and 16”. All models come
with a built in 10 Hz high gain GPS antenna. All display sizes also have a built in CHIRP echo
sounder and StructureScan. The 6.4” and 9” models are also available as “M”versions - charting
only, without inbuilt echo sounder.

The ability to network over NMEA 2000 and ethernet allows access to data as well as control
of numerous optional devices that can provide sonar, radar, audio entertainment, weather
and even digital switching.

All displays can operate on 12 V or 24 V systems.

Each size display may be flush or bracket mounted. The 6.4”, 9”, and 12” include a gimbal
bracket, however the 16” requires an optional VESA bracket adaptor, to mount to a suitably
sized VESA bracket.

Hardware installation

Display mounting location

Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut; The display should be
mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen.
Simrad displays are high-contrast and anti-reflective, and are viewable in direct sunlight, but
for best results install the display out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have
minimal glare from windows or bright objects.

If bracket mounting the display, choose an area where the display will not be subjected to
excessive vibration.

The mounting location will affect the internal GPS receiver. Metals, thick fibreglass and other
dense materials above the receiver may block GPS signal. Test the unit in it’s intended location
to ensure satisfactory reception. An external GPS source may be added to overcome poor
reception areas.

Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.

Check that it is possible to route cables to intented mounting location.

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.

Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel.

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.

Choose an area where the unit will not be subjected to excessive vibration, or heat.

Choose a location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the IP rating - refer
to “Specifications” on page 45.

¼ Note: Where flush mounted, the enclosure should be dry and well ventilated. The ventilation

of the space behind the unit should be enough to prevent excessive heat build up as a com­bined result of radiated heat off the heat sink, and sunlight heating of the enclosure. In very
small enclosures, it may be required to fit forced cooling.

!

Warning: Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of display may

cause unreliable operation and reduced service life. Ensure enclosure does not con­sistently exceed +55° C (+131° F) during normal daytime operation (in direct sunlight,
and at full screen brightness).

!

Warning: When installing, ensure appropriate safety equipment is used, e.g. ear

mus, protective glasses, gloves and a dust mask. Power tools may exceed safe noise
levels, and can cast o dangerous projectiles. The dust from many materials common­ly used in boat construction may cause irritation or damage to eyes, skin, and lungs.

Display installation

Bracket mounting - 7”, 9” and 12” models

Place the bracket in the desired mounting location, and use a pencil or permanent marker to
mark drilling locations.

¼ Note: ensure that the chosen location has enough height to accomodate the display fitted in

the bracket, and allows tilting of the display. Also adequate space is required on both sides to
allow tightening and loosening of the knobs.

Use fasteners suited to the mounting surface material. If the material is too thin for self
tappers, reinforce it, or mount bracket with machine screws and large washers. Use only
304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners. Mark the screw locations using bracket as template, and
drill pilot holes. If mounting surface is steel, or carbon fibre, some form of isolating gasket
or sealant is recommended between the surface and the bracket. Also apply anti-seize
compound to the fasteners.

Screw down the bracket.

Mount the display to the bracket using the knobs. Hand tighten only. The ratchet teeth in
the bracket and display case ensure a positive grip and prevent the unit changing from the
desired angle.

¼ Note: If mounting location may be subject to salt water spray, consider using an anti-seize

compound on the thread of the knobs, to prevent them from binding with the unit.

Hardware installation | NSS evo2 Installation Manual

VESA adaptor mounting - 16” model

The NSS16 evo2 can be mounted using a wide range of 3rd party VESA brackets. To mount
the NSS16 to a VESA bracket the optional adaptor bracket must be fitted. A gimballing style
bracket, similar to those supplied with the NSS7/9/12, is not available for the NSS16.

!

Warning: the VESA bracket used should be of suitable strength and materials to

suit the harsh marine environment. Some standard domestic TV style brackets will not
suit potential G-forces applied, and could result in the display coming loose in rough
conditions. Use a bracket overrated for the weight and size of the NSS16 evo2.

Hardware installation | NSS evo2 Installation Manual

Flush mounting

Fit the small self adhesive decal to right side
of unit, covering rubber tab of SD card reader
gasket. Then attach self adhesive foam gasket to
rear of display.

Check the template for scaling accuracy, using a tape
measure or ruler against the ruler printed on the
template.

Cut away excess paper if required, and tape template
to mounting surface. Check it is correctly aligned to a
vertical or horizontal reference. Do not use a bubble
level as vessel may be listing! Adjust where required.

Drill all marked pilot holes, then using an appropriate
saw, cut through the template and mounting surface,
along the dotted line bordering the shaded area of the
template. Stay within 1mm of the dotted line.

Check the fit of the display, and file away remaining
obstructions. Secure the display with the supplied
screws. Once screws are fully tightened, ensure there
is complete contact with the mounting surface. If
machine screws are required, use only M2.5 (3/32”)
size with a head diameter no greater than 5.6mm
(7/32”).

¼ Note: please ensure mounting surface is completely

flat. Make adjustments to mounting surface if fasten­ing in place puts product under tension.

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, it is necessary to 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.

Hardware installation | NSS evo2 Installation Manual

Transducer mounting location

The NSS evo2 displays (with exception to the ‘M’ models) are fitted with both StructureScan
and Chirp sonar capability and may be connected to a variety of transducers.

The chirp sonar connector suits all standard blue connector transducers, including
conventional and wide frequency band (ie chirp) models. Both include in-hull, through-hull,
and transom mount options.

The StructureScan connector has two options; the transom mount transducer and the
through hull transducer. Structure scan transducers are not suited to in-hull installation.

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.

¼ Note: StructureScan and Chirp can’t be operated simultaneously on the NSS evo2. If simulta-

neous operation is desired, an external module such as the LSS-2, SonarHub, BSM-2, or second
NSS evo2 must be fitted.

Research

Before starting the installation of the transducer, it’s advised to check the following;

• Find out if the boat builder has a recommended installation location

• Establish direction of rotation of the propeller(s) - where mounting level or aft of propellor(s)

• Watch actual water flow when boat is travelling at cruising speed to determine the area of

transom with cleanest flow (least bubbles)

Avoiding common turbulence areas

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.

3

5

4

1 Avoid mounting within 1m (3.3’) to port of propeller

2 Conventional clockwise propeller rotation

3 Avoid mounting within 7.5cm (3“) to starboard of propeller

4 Best mounting location - undisturbed water ow

5 Planing strake - avoid mounting behind here

¼ Note: Reverse the distance guides (1 & 3) from propeller where engine is of counterclockwise

configuration.

¼ Note: Boats 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.

¼ Note: If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference caused by

bubbles and turbulence may show on-screen in the form of random lines or dots. The unit
could also lose bottom signal when the boat is on plane.

¼ Note: Trim tabs will vary in the amount of turbulence they create as they are adjusted, stay

clear of these.

Hardware installation | NSS evo2 Installation Manual

Attaching the Transducer

Due to the large range of transducer options, it is not practical to cover all scenarios here.
Please refer to the documentation included with the transducer for directions on physical
installation.

!

Warning: Most transducer installations require drilling holes below the vessel

water line. Incorrect installation methods could result in water ingress in to the bilge
or in to laminations of the hull material. The results could be damaging to the ves­sel or dangerous to people aboard. Amateur installers are strongly recommended to
consult with a professional installer or boat builder.

Wiring | NSS evo2 Installation Manual

Wiring

Guidelines

Care must be taken when running cables in a boat, to ensure that the cables are protected
from damage and do not interfere with mechanical systems such as throttle cables and hatch
covers.

At each end of a cable, it is advisable to leave a short loop hanging lower than the termination
point. This prevents any water that may get in contact with the cable from running down it to
termination points vulnerable to corrosion.

Extending cables should be done with suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink.
Keeps joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.

Routing cables adjacent to high current or high frequency signal cables could cause noise to
be induced from one device to another. Allow spacing between cables where possible.

Secure all cables at regular intervals, to prevent movement during boat operation. Cable
movement may cause fatigue at termination points or cause the cable to interfere with other
boat systems.

Allows enough cable slack for easy access to connectors when removing the device from a
bracket or flush mount installation.

!

Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power o. If

power is left on or turned on during the installation, re, electrical shock, or other
serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible
