    Doing so will void your warranty. Camera Mounting Caution! Mount your Navigator II with the pedestal sealed to a flat, horizontal surface with the camera above the mounting plane. Any other type of installation is not appropriate, may result in damage to the camera, and may void the warranty.

    STATIC CONFIGURATION Thank you for buying your new Navigator II! If you need help during the installation process, call 888.747.3547 to speak with one of FLIR’s Applications experts. A qualified marine electronics technician should install your Navigator II, as incorrect installation could void your warranty.
  • Page 8 • Think about where the Navigator II will be pointed o Mount the Navigator II with a slight downward angle, so the tip of the bow is visible in the lower quarter of the image, and the path of the vessel is clearly visible, even at high deck angles o If your boat does not have a structure with angles to permit this alignment, you may have to supply shims.
  • Page 9 Take extra care to ensure that your Navigator II is properly aligned to give you an optimal image. It should be pointed straight ahead and at a slightly downward angle to account for the planing angle of your boat – just enough so that you can see the bow of your vessel.

Changing the wiring configuration of the Navigator II or attempting to utilize controllers or wiring harnesses other than those supplied by FLIR may cause permanent damage to the unit and may void the warranty.

  • Page 12 Disassembly and Assembly of the Camera Base – FOR STATIC CONFIGURATION ONLY If you are mounting the camera with wood screws, it may be necessary to partially or completely remove the base from the camera in order to securely attach the base to the vessel. With the camera removed, there is a screwdriver access hole for each mounting screw in the base flange.
  • Page 13 NAVIGATOR II SPLICE KIT – Applies to both configurations For installations requiring the easy removal and re-installation of the Navigator II camera body, the camera comes with a Splice Kit. The Splice Kit includes: 5-way Weather Pack tower and shroud, Weather Pack Strip Seals (color may vary), and male and female terminals.
  • Page 14 The shroud and tower are keyed to ensure one-way connection. Take care to make sure that the wires on each end match the other, or you will damage the Navigator II! Step 8 When you are sure that the wires will mate correctly, snap the tower and shroud together.
  • Page 15 The Splice Kit also includes Snap-N-Seal video connectors; their use is optional. Step 1 Slide connector assembly over cable as shown. Step 2 Prepare cable end. Cut the cable end off square before starting the prep. Step 3 If using single braid cables, fold the braid over the jacket. Fold the inner braid over the jacket.
  • Page 16 Step 5 Finish the connector to cable installation by crimping with the appropriate finishing tool.
