6.0 Installation
The NavPixel™ NPD0835 is designed to be mounted in two configurations: with a
universal ball-and-socket mounting kit, or in a Flat Panel configuration.
6.1 Pedestal Mount
The NavPixel™ is designed compatible with a RAM® universal ball-and-socket system
mounting kit (Figure 5). By installing the Monitor with this kit, the User can adjust the
viewing angle to improve viewability in changing environments. This ball-and-socket
system has proven to be successful in supporting an extreme amount of weight in high
vibration and difficult-mount applications. Visit www.ram-mount.com installation for
product mounting diagrams.
(Figure5) Figure6)
There are three mounting holes in the back of the Monitor for the attachment of a ball
mounting plate. Take care not to strip the screw holes or over tighten. (Figure 6)
It is recommended the remaining ball be mounted on a flat surface. Because of the
various surface substrates where the Monitor is to be mounted, the installer provides
the screws to mount the other ball.
• Note the location of the three mounting holes on a ball mounting plate (Figure 6)
• With three (3) M4 x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws attach mounting plate to the back
of the NavPixel™ NPD0835 (Figure 5)
• Mount the second ball mounting plate on the surface where the Monitor is to be installed
• Insert each ball into the RAM arm
• Lightly tighten the arm around the balls using the T-knob on the arm (Figure 5, 6)
• Adjust the Monitor to the viewing preference, and
• Tighten the T-knob to hold the Monitor in position.
Page 13

6.2 Panel Mount
The Panel Mount installation should be specified at the time of order; the ball-and-socket
mount system will not be included in the shipping box.
For installation, there are four tapped mounting holes on the four corners of the unit’s
rear panel. The mounting hardware packet is included with the product accessories in
the shipping box. This packet includes four (4) M4 stainless steel threaded studs,
8.6 cm (3” long), four (4) Nylock self-locking nuts and four (4) flat washers.
6.3 Installing the monitor consists of three steps:
1. Attaching the monitor using one of the mounting interfaces built into the monitor’s
enclosure. (See 6.3.1 Step 1)
2. Connecting the monitor to the computer and power source. (See 6.3.2 Step 2)
3. Installing the touchscreen driver software. (See 6.3.3 Step 3)
6.3.1 Step 1 - Mounting the Monitor
The back of the monitor includes mounting points that you can use to mount the monitor
as your installation requires.
Mounting holes on the NavPixel™ NPD0835 allow the monitor to be mounted by rear
mounted using VESA75 or RAM mount
Mounting from rear:
zVESA75 (4 hole pattern).Accepts
M4x0.7 up to 6mm depth.
zRAM Mount (3 hole pattern)
Accepts M4x0.7 up to 6mm depth.

6.3.2 Step 2 - Connecting the Monitor
Computer Display Properties - SVGA or XGA
Prior to connecting the NavPixel™ NPD0835 to the computer, connect the computer to a
CRT monitor to verify the computer video display properties are set to 800 x 600 (SVGA)
pixels or for the 15” Monitor, 1024 x 768 (XGA) pixels.
Setting the Display Settings
1. Right mouse click on an open area of the desktop screen to bring up the Desktop Menu
2. Left mouse click on Properties to open the Display Properties menu
3. Connect to a CRT monitor to establish the computer display properties
4. Select the Settings tab
5. Under Screen Resolution, verify or slide the bar until the Screen Resolution is at 800 x
600 pixels (SGVA) or 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA)
Page 15

6. Select the Advanced button to go to the next menu to verify the Hz refresh rate
7. Select the Monitor tab
8. Under Monitor Settings, verify the Screen Refresh Rate is set at 60Hz
• If so, select the Cancel button and go to step 9
• If not, select 60Hz, and Select the Apply button
9. At the Monitor Settings dialog box, select “Yes” to accept the new desktop view Settings
10. In the Display Properties dialog box, verify the Screen Resolution is at 800 x 600
pixels (SVGA) or optional 1024 x 768 (XGA)
11. Select the Apply button
12. At the desktop screen, shutdown the Computer
13. Turn off the monitor, and Disconnect the monitor from the computer.

Power on the Monitor
• Connect the NavPixel™ NPD0835 to the computer
• Power up the NavPixel™ NPD0835
• Power up the computer
• The Windows Operating System should automatically apply the best generic driver
for this connection.
Once the monitor is mounted in place and connect it to the computer (or other video
source) and the regulated DC power supply successfully. We do not supply a power
supply. The monitor is intended to be powered from the watercraft’s DC power system.
Power to the monitor (and CPU) is hard switched from the line power that should be
protected by a magnetic hydraulic circuit breaker. DO NOT connect the USB cable at
this time!
Note1: This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer. However,
depending on your particular hardware configuration, these connections may be to a dock
or other device rather than directly to the computer.
Note2: Use an appropriately sized fuse in line to the power source. Also, to prevent the
watercraft’s battery from draining in standby mode, you should install a device that shuts
off power to the monitor while the monitor is inactive. (An example is Lind Electronics’
Vehicle Battery Voltage Shutdown Table)
12VDC system: 4A slow blow fuse
24VDC system: 2A slow blow fuse
