Flush Mounting The Card Reader - Raymarine gS Series Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

13. Using a suitable sized wrench tighten the lock
nut against the washer and the mounting bracket
to lock in position.
The lock nut should be tightened sufficiently to
securely hold the display in position. Do not
overtighten.
Note: The supplied gasket provides a seal
between the unit and a suitably flat and stiff
mounting surface or binnacle. The gasket should
be used in all installations. It may also be
necessary to use a marine-grade sealant if the
mounting surface or binnacle is not entirely flat and
stiff or has a rough surface finish.

5.4 Flush mounting the card reader

For flush mounting you must rebate the mounting
surface to accommodate chart reader housing.
1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear,
flat area with suitable clearance behind the panel
is required.
2. Before modifying the mounting surface, refer
to the dimensions supplied in this document to
ensure there is enough space for the unit and
cable.
3. Fix the supplied mounting template to the
selected location, using masking or self-adhesive
tape.
4. Drill 4 holes as indicated on the mounting
template to accept the fixings.
5. Using a 40 mm (1.6 in) hole cutter, drill out the
cut-out area identified on the mounting template.
6. Follow the rebate cut-out line on the template to
cut a rebate around the hole with a depth of 8.5
mm (0.33 in), to accept the unit.
7. Ensure that the card reader fits into the removed
area and then remove rough edges.
8. Affix the supplied gasket onto the rear of the card
reader and press firmly onto the flange.
9. Feed the cable through the hole and connect to
the multifunction display's card reader connector.
10. Place the card reader into the rebate and secure
using the fixings provided.
11. Insert the card reader label over the top of the
card reader slots so that the mounting screw
locations are covered.
Note: The appropriate tightening torque and drill
bit size to use depends on the thickness of the
mounting surface and the type of material it is
made from.
Note: The supplied gasket provides a seal
between the unit and a suitably flat and stiff
mounting surface or binnacle. The gasket should
be used in all installations. It may also be
necessary to use a marine-grade sealant if the
mounting surface or binnacle is not entirely flat and
stiff or has a rough surface finish.
