2 Installation

• The installation includes 5 major steps:
1. Read the installation and operation manual.
2. Plan where to install the Compass transducer and the instrument.
3. Run the cables.
4. Install the Compass transducer and the Instrument.
5. Learn the functions and calibrate your system.
Before you begin drilling ... think about how you can make the installation as neat
and simple as your boat will allow. Plan where to position the transducer and
instrument. Think about leaving space for additional instruments in the future.
A few "do nots" you should consider:
•
Do not cut the cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the instrument
−
so it can be disconnected for inspection without having to disconnect all
attached cables.
Do not place sealant behind the display. The instrument gasket eliminates
−
the need for sealant.
Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.
−
Do not run cables close to fluorescent light sources, engine or radio
−
transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances.
Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to accomplish.
−
•
If you are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an experienced
technician.
