INSTALLATION
General mounting guidelines
⚠WARNING: Do not install the unit in a hazardous/ammable atmosphere. Always wear
appropriate eye wear, ear protection and dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
Remember to check the reverse side of all surfaces whenever drilling or cutting.
¼Note: Choose a mounting location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the
technical specications.
Mounting location
This product generates heat which must be considered when choosing the mounting location.
Ensure the selected area allows for:
• Cable routing, cable connection and cable support.
• Connection and use of portable storage devices.
Do also consider:
• The free space around the unit to avoid overheating.
• The mounting surface’s structure and strength, with regard to the weight of the equipment.
• Any mounting surface vibration that might damage the equipment.
• Hidden electrical wires that might be damaged when drilling holes.
Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit may cause reduced performance
and reduced service life. Ventilation is recommended behind all units that are not bracket mounted.
Ensure cables do not obstruct the airow.
Examples of enclosure ventilation options, in order of preference, are:
• Positive pressure air from the vessel’s air conditioning system.
• Positive pressure air from local cooling fans (fan required at input, fan optional at outlet).
• Passive airow from air vents.
Electrical and radio frequency interference
This unit conforms with the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To ensure
the EMC performance is not compromised, the following guidelines apply:
• Separate battery used for the vessel engine.
• Minimum 1 m (3 ft) between the device, the device’s cables and any transmitting equipment
or cables with radio signals.
• Minimum 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device’s cables and the SSB radio.
• More than 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device’s cables and the radar beam.
Compass safe distance
The unit outputs electromagnetic interference that can cause inaccurate readings on a nearby
compass. To prevent compass inaccuracy, the unit must be mounted far enough away so the
interference does not affect compass readings. For minimum compass safe distance, refer to the
technical specications.

8
Wi-Fi®
It is important to test the Wi-Fi®performance before the location of the unit is decided.
Construction material (steel, aluminum or carbon) and heavy structure might affect Wi-Fi®
performance.
The following guidelines apply:
• Select a location where there is a clear, direct line of sight between Wi-Fi®connected units.
• Keep the distance between Wi-Fi®units as short as possible.
• Mount the unit at least 1 m (3 ft) away from equipment that might generate interference.
GPS
It is important to test the GPS performance before the location of the unit is decided.
Construction material (steel, aluminum or carbon) and heavy structure might affect GPS
performance. Avoid a mounting location where metal obstacles block the view of the sky.
A well-placed external GPS module can be added to overcome poor performance.
A
B
C
A Optimal location (above deck)
B Less effective location
C Not recommended location
¼Note: Consider the lateral swinging if mounting the GPS sensor high above sea level. Roll and
pitch might give false positions and affect the true directional movement.
Touchscreen
Touchscreen performance can be affected by the location of the unit. Avoid locations where the
screen is exposed to direct sunlight or prolonged rainfall.
Corner clip tment and removal

9
Panel mounting
Refer to the separate mounting template for panel mounting instructions.
U-bracket mounting
1 Place the bracket in the desired mounting location. Ensure the chosen location has enough
height to accommodate the unit, and allows the unit to be tilted. Adequate space is also
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.
3 Screw down the bracket using fasteners suitable for the material you are mounting the bracket
on.
4 Mount the unit to the bracket using the knobs. Hand tighten only.
¼Note: The screws shown below are for illustration purposes only. Use fasteners that are suitable
for the mounting surface.

10
WIRING
Wiring guidelines
Don’t:
• Make sharp bends in the cables.
• Run cables in a way that allows water to ow 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:
• Make drip and service loops.
• Use cable-ties 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 the possibility of water immersion.
• Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease the plugging and unplugging of cables.
⚠WARNING: Before starting the installation, turn the electrical power off. 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 with the unit.
⚠WARNING: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to (+) DC with a
fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse rating). For the recommended fuse rating,
refer to the Specications section of this manual.

Power connection
The unit is designed to be powered by 12 V DC.
It is protected against reverse polarity, under voltage and over voltage (for a limited duration).
A fuse or circuit breaker should be tted to the positive supply. For the recommended fuse rating,
refer to the Specications section of this manual.

Power control connection
The yellow wire in the power cable can be used to control how the unit is turned on and off.
Power controlled by power key
The unit will turn on/off when the power key on the unit is pressed. Leave the yellow power control
wire disconnected and tape or heat-shrink the end to prevent shorting.
Power control by supply power
The unit will turn on/off without using the power key when power is applied/removed. Connect the
yellow wire to the red wire after the fuse.
¼Note: The unit cannot be powered down by the power key, but can be put in to standby mode
(the screen backlight turns off).

Plan and install an NMEA 2000® network
An NMEA 2000®network consists of a powered backbone from which drop cables connect to
NMEA 2000®devices. The backbone needs to run within 6 m (20 ft) of the locations of all products
to be connected, typically in a bow to stern layout.
The following guidelines apply:
• The total length of the backbone should not exceed 100 meters (328 ft).
• A single drop cable has a maximum length of 6 meters (20 ft). The total length of all drop
cables combined should not exceed 78 meters (256 ft).
• A terminator must be installed at each end of the backbone. The terminator can be a
terminator plug or a unit with a built-in terminator.

Power the NMEA 2000® network
The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply, protected by a 3 A fuse.
For smaller systems, connect power at any location in the backbone.
For larger systems, connect power at a central point in the backbone to balance the voltage drop of
the network. Ensure the load/current draw on each side of the power node is equal.
¼Note: 1 LEN (Load Equivalency Number) equals 50 mA current draw.

The 9” and 12” display units have a USB-A port that can be used to connect a:
• Storage device or
• Card reader
¼Note: USB devices should be standard PC-compatible hardware.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port(s) can be used for transfer of data and synchronization of user-created data. It
is recommended that each device in the system is connected to the Ethernet network. No special
setup is required for establishing an Ethernet network.
