Installation
•
The installation includes 6 major steps:
1. Read the installation and operation manual.
2. Plan where to install the transducer and instrument.
3. Install the transducer, then the instrument.
4. Run the cables.
5. Take a brake and admire your installation.
6. Learn the functions and calibrate your instrument.
•
Before you begin drilling... think about how you can make the installation as neat and simple as your
boat will allow. Plan where to position the transducers and instruments. Think about leaving space for
additional instruments in the future.
•
A few "do not's" you should consider:
−
Do not cut cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the instrument so it can be removed for
inspection without having to disconnect attached cables.
−
Do not place sealant behind the instrument. The instrument gasket eliminates the need for sealant.
−
Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.
−
Do not run cables close to the fluorescent light sources, engine or radio transmitting equipment to
avoid electrical disturbances.
−
Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to do.
