Installation and wiring

Mounting location

Before installing the BSM-3, 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-3 power cables,
any VHF antenna coax cables or any DC or AC power cables. Avoid
placing Ethernet cables close to VHF antennas.
The BSM-3 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).
