4. CMS5 BLACK BOX INSTALLATION
1. Select an area with sufficient ventilation for the mounting of the CMS5 Black Box in order to prevent
the Black Box from overheating. You may mount the Black Box in a horizontal or ve r tical position. If the
Black Box is mounted in a ve r tical position, do not mount the Black Box with the harnesses directly
pointing upwards to prevent water collecting on top of the harnesses.
2. Please refer to the diagram below for the mounting screw hole positions. Always use the provided
CMS5 Metric Stainless Steel Self T apping Screws to mount the CMS5 Black Box.
3. Extension of the wires/cables may be necessa r y to route the harness and cable throughout the vessel.
NOTE: Retain some slack in the harness/cable to prevent damage to the wires.
It is recommended to relieve the stress on all wires and cables.
