2: INSTALLATION English
2 Installation
• The installation includes 6 major steps:
1. Read the installation and operation manual.
2. Plan where to install the transducer and instrument.
3. Install the transducer, then the instrument.
4. Run the cables.
5. Take a break and admire your installation.
6. Learn the functions and calibrate your instrument.
• 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
instrument. Think about leaving space for additiona instruments in the
future.
• A few ”do not’s” you should consider:
- Do not cut cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the instrument so it
can be removed for inspection without having to disconnect attached
cables.
3
− Do not place sealant behind the instrument. The instrument gasket
eliminates the need for sealant.
− Do not run cables close to fluorescent light sources, 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.
Large Philips and small flat head screw driver.
Hole saw for the instrument clearance hole, 52 mm (2 1/16”).
2.8 mm (7/64 ”) drill for the mounting holes in wood.
3.2 mm (1/8 ”) drill for the mounting holes in fibre glass.
Plastic cable ties.
If you are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an
experienced technician.
2: INSTALLATION English
2.1 Installing the instrument
• Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument.
Drill the four screw holes using a 2.8 mm (7/64”) drill for wood or 3.2 mm (1/8”)
for fibre glass. Use a 52 mm (2 1/16”) hole saw to machine the clearance
hole for the instrument connection socket.
Note! Never drill through the instrument’s four mounting holes as the
gasket may be damaged and thus cause leakage. The warranty is not valid
for damage caused by drilling through the mounting holes.
2.2 Electrical installation
The connector is attached to the four pins on the reversed side of the
instrument. The 4-pole jack plug is colour coded

Important! Always connect both NMEA in and NMEA return. Connect NMEA
return to ground if the GPS has no NMEA return.
Connect a 3 Ampere fast fuse between power
battery and instrument on the plus lead.
