4.1 Instrument Installation

The instrument can be easily
installed in different types of
instrument panels. Refer to Figures
2, 3, 4, and 5 for the following steps.
1. Select a suitable location for
the instrument. When selecting
the location for mounting, the
following are recommended:
• Controls of the instrument
must be accessible to the
user.
• Electrical connections must
be routed to their
connections as directly as
possible.
NOTE: The instrument must be
connected through a switch to
provide a means of turning the
instrument on and off. The red
lead of the power cable should
be connected to a 1-Ampere
circuit breaker then to the
positive terminal of the power supply. The
solid black lead should be connected to the
negative terminal.
If your boat has an electrical system, there is probably
a fuse panel in the console area, which can be used
to connect the instrument. If a fuse terminal is
available, use crimp-on type connectors to match
the fuse panel terminal. See Figure 2.

share loads with ignition, alternators, radio
transmitters, etc. Excessive electrical noise
associated with such devices may prevent the
instrument from operating properly.
4. Connect the RCA phono plug on the
transducer cable to the instrument.
