Surface Mounting The Keypad; Fitting The Keypad Mat - Raymarine RMK-10 Installation Instructions Manual

5.3 Surface mounting the keypad

Surface mounting provides a uniform installation
where the products protrude, usually by the thickness
of the bezel, from the mounting surface.
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, 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. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area
and then remove rough edges.
8. Place the supplied gasket onto the rear of the
keypad, ensuring the mounting holes are aligned.
9. Connect the relevant cables to the unit.
10. 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.

2. Slide the keypad mat's shorter edge, with the 2
locking tabs, into the end of the keypad that has
2 notches to accept the tabs.

the keypad, ensuring that the tab slides into the
notch provided, push all of the tabs on the longer
sides into their notches (you should hear a click
as each tab engages).
