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

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.

Fitting the keypad mat

Your keypad can be installed in portrait or landscape orientation. Keypad mats are available for
each orientation.
• You should fit the keypad mat that matches your chosen mounting orientation.
• You should only fit the keypad mat after the unit has been secured to the mounting surface.
1. Ensure the keypad mat is orientated correctly.
