1.1

Installing the instrument

Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the
7
instrument. Drill the 4 screw holes using a 2.8 mm ( / ") drill for wood or
64
1
3.2 mm ( / ") for fibre glass. Use a 63 mm (2½") hole saw to machine the
8
clearance hole for the instrument connection socket. Remove the
template.
Note: Never drill through the instruments 4 mounting holes as the
gaskets may be damaged and thus cause leakage. The warranty is
not valid for damage caused by drilling through the mounting holes.
Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server to the instrument.
Cut the Nexus Network cable to length. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of the
cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3 isolated wires
(the 4th wire is an earth / screen). Attach the 4 cable protectors to the
wires using a pair of flat pliers.
Connect the 4 cable protectors to the 4-pole jack plug as shown. Apply
silicon paste on all locations as shown.

Note: Must be done to avoid corrosion.
Apply silicon paste to the instrument connection pins at the back of the
instrument. Press the jack plug onto the instrument pins. Press down the
cable in the cable leads. Mount the connection back cover with the screw.
Mount the instrument in the pre-drilled position.
Note! Use all 4 screws, and tighten the screws (in cross pattern) so
the gasket will be evenly compressed to 1/3 of its original thickness.
Very important for a correct sealing to avoid leakage!
Press on the 4 rubber caps to seal and hide the mounting screws.
Your instrument installation is done!
