Figure 2 - Mounting The Ssc300 To Vertical Surface - Maretron SSC300 User Manual

as shown in Figure 2. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such
as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure. The use of
adhesives, Velcro, straps, or any mounting hardware not supplied with the SSC300 is not
recommended, as it may adversely affect the performance of the SSC300.
The usual way of mounting the SSC300 to a vertical surface is attaching the SSC300 to the
forward side of a vertical surface, so that the side of the compass with the connectors is facing
the bow of the boat; however, the SSC300 may be mounted to the astern side of a vertical
surface, so that the side of the compass with the connectors is facing the stern of the boat,
provided that the SSC300 is programmed to recognize that it is mounted in this way
("backwards"). This can be done using a Maretron DSM150 display, DSM250 display, or
Maretron N2KAnalyzer software (please refer to the appropriate user's manual for details), or
through a command sent to the SSC300 via the NMEA 0183 interface (please refer to
Appendix A for details).
