3.3 Surface mounting
The MFD can be surface mounted.
Before mounting the unit, ensure that you have:
• Selected a suitable location.
• Identified the cable connections and route that the cables will take.
• Detached the Menu/Home buttons keypad.
• Detached the front screw covers.
1. Check the chosen mounting location. A clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the panel is
required.
2. Fix the supplied mounting template to the chosen location using masking or self-adhesive tape.
3. Using a suitable hole saw (the size is indicated on the template), make a hole in each corner
of the cut-out area.
4. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
5. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area and then file around any rough edges until smooth.
6. Drill 4 holes as indicated on the template to accept the fixings.
7. Place the gasket onto the rear of the display and press firmly onto the flange.
8. Connect the power, data and other cables to the MFD.
9. Slide the unit into place and secure using the fixings provided.
10. Attach the Menu/Home buttons keypad, by sliding it down from above the MFD.
11. Attach the bezel pieces to either side of the MFD.
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.
