3 Safety
Installation of SIMARINE electronics should be made by electrical specialists with proper
safety equipment. When working with batteries you should wear protective clothing and
eye protection.
CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that can harm your eyes, skin
and damage clothing. Should the acid come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing, wash it
immediately with soap under fresh water for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical support
immediately.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat up, catch fire or
explode.
CAUTION: Lead-acid Batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never
smoke, allow flames or sparks near the battery. Make sure to keep sufficient ventilation
around the battery.
CAUTION: When working with a battery remove all personal metal items like watches, rings,
necklaces and bracelets. Metal items in contact with the battery terminals might cause a
short circuit with a very high electric current, which may heat up and melt nearby objects
and cause severe burns.

5 Installation
5.1 PICO mounting
SIMARINE PICO should be installed in a visible place to provide good readability. Please
note that ONLY the PICO/PICOone display unit is water and dust resistant! Any other
modules including splitter should not be exposed to humidity or liquids in any case. The
mounting process and installation cutouts depend on the model, as described in following
sections.
5.2 PICO STANDALONE
PICO Standalone version has dimensions of 98 x 84 x 10mm (3.85 x 3.30 x 0.39 in) and needs
NO installation cutout. The mounting process requires drilling of 5 (PICOone) or 6 (PICO)
mounting holes and access to the rear of the mounting surface. In case you have NO rear
access, you can bond it using supplied double sided tape.
Step to be taken for proper mounting:
1. Before the drilling, check if there is enough space to mount your PICO.
2. Mark mounting holes using the supplied installation template.
3. Drill all holes.
4. Connect the connector on the back side of PICO to the splitter cable (be sure to
align the pins correctly) and fasten it by turning the safety ring clockwise.
5. Finish mounting PICO from the back side with the supplied threaded rod and nuts.
Screws, rods and nuts MUST be screwed by hand. Excessive force may damage
the threads on PICO.
5.3 PICO PANEL-MOUNT
PICO Panel-mount version dimensions are 108.5 x 94 x 10mm. It needs an installation cutout
of 98 x 83mm. It can be mounted with supplied threaded rods and brackets or bonded with
adhesive if there is no rear access to the mounting surface.
Steps to be taken for proper mounting:
1. Before cutting out, check if there is enough space for your PICO.
2. Mark the cutout line with the supplied installation template.
3. Using a saw, carefully cut out the marked area.
4. Connect the connector on the back side of PICO to the splitter cable (be sure to
align the pins correctly) and fasten it by turning the safety ring clockwise.
5. Finish mounting PICO from the back side with the supplied threaded rod and nuts.
Screws, rods and nuts MUST be screwed by hand. Excessive force may damage
the threads on PICO.
