3.4 Trunnion bracket mounting
The supplied trunnion bracket can be used to mount your display on a horizontal surface.
Ensure you have chosen a suitable mounting location for your display, with sufficient headroom to
allow the display’s angle to be adjusted or the display to be removed if necessary. If installing
‘above head’, take extra care to ensure the knobs are tightened sufficiently to prevent them coming
undone due to vibration when underway.
Important:
Before mounting the display, ensure you have sourced suitable fixings for mounting the display’s
trunnion bracket to the desired mounting surface. Fixing type will be determined by the mounting
location, and the material type and thickness of the mounting surface.
• Element™ 7: Requires 4 x fixings. The Trunnion bracket’s mounting hole diameter is 4.2 mm
(0.17 in).
• Element™ 9 and Element™ 12: Require 5 x fixings. The Trunnion bracket’s mounting hole diameter
is 5.75 mm (0.23 in).
1. Using the Bracket as a template, mark and drill pilot holes in the mounting surface.
2. Using appropriate fixings (not supplied), secure the trunnion bracket to the mounting surface.
If the mounting surface is too thin for the screws provided, use stainless steel machine screws,
washers and locking nuts. Alternatively, reinforce the rear of the mounting surface.
3. Using the bracket knobs, secure the display to the Bracket, ensuring the ratchet teeth are
correctly engaged.
The knobs should be tightened by hand, sufficiently to prevent the display from moving whilst
your vessel is underway.
4. Route and connect necessary cables.
