Chapter 5: Mounting

5.1 Removing the keypad mat

To gain access to the mounting hole locations, the
keypad mat must be removed.
Tip To help prevent scratching the product, cover the
tip of your screwdriver blade with a small piece of
insulation tape.
1. Using a thin, flat bladed screwdriver insert the tip
of the screwdriver into the gap between the edge
of the keypad mat and the keypad housing, at a
location between locking tabs.
2. Gently lever the keypad mat away from the
keypad to release the keypad mat.
Take care not to bend the keypad mat during
removal.

5.2 Flush mounting the keypad

Flush mounting provides a sleek installation where
the product and dash are flush, with only the buttons
and Rotary controller protruding from the dash.
Flush mounting requires the mounting surface to be
rebated.
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 all
cables.
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 suitable hole saw (the size and position
is indicated on the template), make a hole in each
corner of the cut-out area.
6. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge
of the cut-out line.
7. Using a Router, follow the Flush mount rebate
line, to cut out a rebate to the specified rebate
depth, as indicated on the template.
8. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area
and then remove rough edges.
9. Place the supplied gasket onto the rear of the
keypad, ensuring the mounting holes are aligned.
10. Connect the relevant cables to the unit.
11. Place the keypad into the rebate and secure
using the fixings provided.
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.
