WEEE DIRECTIVE: EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and

sellers, and manufacturers of consumer electronics in the European

Union. The WEEE Directive requires the producer of consumer

electronics to ta e responsibility for the management of waste from

their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during

the product life cycle.

WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical &

electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed

and intended as fixed or temporary installation in transportation

vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European

Union member states, these vehicles are considered outside of the

scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be

considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.

This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the

product must not be disposed of with other household refuse. It

must be disposed of and collected for recycling and recovery of

waste EEE. Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. will mar

all EEE products in accordance with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to

comply in the collection, treatment, recovery, and environmentally

sound disposal of those products; however, these requirements do vary

within European Union member states. For more information about

where you should dispose of your waste equipment for recycling and

recovery and/or your European Union member state requirements,

please contact your dealer or distributor from which your product was

purchased.

ROHS STATEMENT: Product designed and intended as a fixed

installation or part of a system in a vessel may be considered beyond

the scope of Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of

the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain

hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

INSTALLATION

Perform the procedures in the following sections to in-dash mount the ONIX® control head.

NOTE: Your control head might not loo exactly li e the illustrations in this guide, but the

control head will mount in the same way.

1|Determine the Mounting Location

Start by locating a suitable, ﬂat area of the dashboard for mounting. Consider the following to ﬁnd the

best mounting location:

•Standard Compass Safe Distance: The control head must be installed at least 4 ft (1.2 m)

from the compass or other magnetic equipment on the vessel. Also, see your compass

installation guide for details.

•Interference: The mounting location must provide adequate distance from electric motors or

any equipment that may cause electronic interference.

•Stability: The mounting area should be protected from waves, shock, vibration, and water.

•Visibility: The operator must have a clear view of the screen during operation. Review the visibility

in relation to other dashboard equipment, sun, and the operator’s main steering position.

•Cover: See the In-dash Mounting Template to allow space for the cover.

•Depth: The mounting area should have a depth of 6" (152.4 mm) to allow space for the control

head and cables.

•Ventilation: The area beneath the mounting surface should be well-ventilated.

•Accessibility: The location should be easily accessible for all cables to reach the ports on the

back of the control head.

NOTE: If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. For

assistance, contact Customer Service.

4|Install the Control Head

1. Carefully lower the control head into the mounting hole.

2. From under the dash, slide the bracket arms onto the control head. Line up the screw holes on

the bracket arms with the screw holes on the control head (see the illustration below and the

illustration Installing the Screws).

3. Install each 3/8" (9.5 mm) screw using a Phillips head screwdriver. Make sure the bracket stays

level and doesn’t block the control head ports. Hand tighten only.

4. Hand-tighten each bolt until the end cap is ﬂush against the dash (see the illustration Securing

the Installation). Do NOT overtighten the bolts.

5. Using a wrench, hand tighten each nut so the split-ring washer ﬂattens against the bracket.

CAUTION! The split-ring washers must be fully compressed for a secure installation.

5|Route and Connect the Cables

1. See the installation guides included with each hardware component to install power, GPS, and

other optional equipment (transducer, radar, AIS, autopilot, and accessories).

CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or

flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric

grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be

purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.

2. Route the cables to the control head and insert the connectors into the proper ports on the

control head. The ports are labeled and the cable connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect

installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the ports.

3. Hand tighten the screw nut on each cable to secure the connection. Any unused ports should

be covered with the port covers to prevent potential damage.

4. Apply labels to the cables (optional, not included). Use nylon cable ties (not included) to secure

the cables and create a clean assembly.

5. See the Humminbird Operations Manual to conﬁgure the control head.

2|Cut the In-Dash Mounting Hole

To in-dash mount the ONIX control head, start by placing the hardware on the surfaces where you plan

to install them.

1. Conﬁrm you have the correct In-dash Mounting Template for your control head model.

2. Review the instructions, measurements, and cutting options on the template before you

proceed with the installation.

3. Tape the template to the chosen mounting location.

4. Using the template, select the cutting method that is best for your boat:

Drill one entry hole away from the main cut line that is large enough to insert the blade of your

cutting tool.

Drill a corner hole away from the main cut line using a drill bit that will create a hole as close as

possible to the diameter measurement shown on the template. Repeat for the other three

corners as indicated on the template. Use one of the corner holes as an entry hole, or drill an

additional entry hole away from the main cut line.

5. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted cut line, and continue cutting to the inside of the line

around the template.

CAUTION! The corner cut lines are critical to the installation. Carefully cut along the inside

of the line.

6. Test the Mounting Hole: Install the control head in the mounting hole to test the ﬁt. Make

ad ustments to the mounting hole as needed. Remove the control head and template when

ﬁnished.

7. Thoroughly clean and deburr the mounting hole.

3|Install the Bracket

1. Install one nut and one split-ring washer onto each 4" (101.6 mm) bolt. See the illustration

below.

2. Insert each bolt into each threaded bolt hole on the bracket. Hand-tighten the bolts until they

are installed approximately 1" (25.4 mm) through the bracket. You will fully tighten the bolts in

a later step.

3. Install one end cap on the end of each bolt.
