SONAR MODULE INSTALLATION
⚠ WARNING: 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.
Choose location
Choose a mounting location carefully. Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or
other parts behind the panel before you drill or cut. Ensure any cutting or drilling is done
in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualied
boat builder or marine electronics installer.
Do not:
• Mount where it can be used as a hand hold.
• Mount where it will interfere with the operation, launching or retrieving of the boat.
• Mount where it might be submerged or exposed to moisture.
• Mount in a way that moisture or condensation follows the cables into the device.
Do:
• Consider the overall width and height requirements.
• Leave sufcient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
• Check it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.
• Leave enough unobstructed space above and below the module to ensure it cools
adequately and the ambient temperature does not exceed 55°C (131°F). If overheating
is a concern, consider additional ventilation, such as a vent or extraction fan.
⚠ WARNING: Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the equipment
may cause unreliable operation and reduced service life. Exposing the equipment to
conditions that exceed the specications could invalidate your warranty.
Mount sonar module
Mark the screw locations using the module as a template. Drill the pilot holes. Secure the
module using fasteners suitable for the material you’re mounting the module to.
