Installation and wiring
Mounting location
Before installing the BSM-2, consider location and cable
runs necessary to connect the module to display unit,
transducer and power source.
The mounting location must allow for required working
area when connecting the cables. Also ensure that the
location allows viewing the unit’s LED indicators.
The units should be mounted with special regard to the
units’ environmental protection, temperature range and
cable length.
The mounting surface needs to be structurally strong,
with as little vibration as possible. If possible mount the
unit close to the edges of a panel to minimize vibration.
Do not run the transducer cabling near the BSM-2 power
cables, any VHF antenna coax cables or any DC or AC
power cables. Avoid placing Ethernet cables close to VHF
antennas.
The BSM-2 conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but proper installation
is required to get best use and performance from
this product. Ensure you have as much separation as
possible between different electrical equipment, (see
diagram below).

Securing BSM-2 module
Mount the BSM-2 on a vertical surface with the power
and transducer cable entries exiting downwards.
Fasten the BSM-2 by using the 4 stainless steel self
tapping screws included with the unit.
Wiring
General
The power and the transducer
cables connect with screw
terminals inside the BSM-2
unit. Refer wiring diagram and
connection details on the following
pages.
The BSM-2 contains high voltages and specialized
parts; the operator should never remove the
module’s cover without removing the power
connection.
Removing the transducer cable from the BSM-2
while the module is powered on can cause sparks.
Remove the transducer cables only after the
module has been disconnected from its power
source.
