Junction box GS-1003

Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the junction box away from heat sources because of heat that can build up
inside the cabinet.
• The vibration should be minimal.
• Locate the junction box away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make sure that the ground wire is connected between the earth terminal on chassis
and the ship's earth.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the junction box is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual
to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.

1. Unfasten four binding screws to remove the cover from the junction box.
2. Fasten four self-tapping screws (4×20, supplied) to fix the junction box to the
