Network Fish Finder

The network fish finder can be installed on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep the following points in mind:
• The temperature and humidity at the mounting site should be moderate and stable.
• The mounting location must satisfy these requirements to get proper performance.
- Operating temperature range: -15 to 55°C (-27 to 99°F)
- Waterproofing standard: IP22
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors and gen-
erators.
• Leave slack in cables for maintenance and servicing ease.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the network sounder is placed too close to it. Observe
the compass safe distances noted in the safety instructions to prevent interference to the mag-
netic compass.
Fasten the network sounder to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5×20), refer-
ring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting dimensions.
Note: For mounting on a bulkhead, the connectors must face downward to prevent the possibility
of water leakage into the unit.
