Installing the Maretron VMM6 involves the following steps.
When unpacking the box containing the Maretron VMM6, you should find the following items:
1 – VMM6 Digital Switch Module
1 – VMM6 User's Manual on USB flash drive
1 – VMM6 Panel Installation Template
1 – Warranty Registration Card
1 – A3702 VMM to NMEA 2000® Adapter Cable - .2m
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron Technical Support
(please refer to page 16 for contact information).
Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location.
•
The VMM6 is waterproof, so it can be installed in a damp or dry location.
•
Consider mounting depth. (6" recommended clearance needed for proper cable bend radius)
•
The VMM6 is temperature-rated to 85°C (185°F). Mount VMM6 away from engines or engine rooms
where the operating temperature exceeds the specified limit.
•
After mounting, ensure cable strain relief.
Locate the panel mounting template supplied with the VMM6. After cutting the panel mounting hole,
simply press the VMM6 into panel cutout. The VMM6 mounting tabs will securely hold the unit into
place provided the minimum panel thickness of 0.06" (1.5 mm) is present. The use of silicone
sealant is acceptable to prevent water intrusion behind the unit and in some cases to secure the
unit. Do not use permanent adhesive to secure unit. Certain adhesives such as methacrylate will
cause cracking of the plastic enclosure. Adhesive use for installation will void warranty of VMM6
unit. For reference to the needed panel cutout dimensions see Figure 6.
