2. Ensure that:
• The panel on which you intend to mount the instrument is between
0.12 in (3 mm) and 0.78 in (20 mm) thickness.
• The selected location is clean, smooth and flat.
• There is sufficient space behind the location to accommodate the rear of
the instrument and connectors.
3. Apply the template flush mount (supplied at the rear of this handbook) to the
selected location and mark out the aperture into which the assembled instru-
ment and bezel will sit.
4. Cut out the aperture (3) for the assembled instrument and bezel and remove
the template.
5. Peel off the protective sheet from the self-adhesive gasket (4) then stick the
gasket into position on the rear of the bezel.
6. Screw the two fixing studs (1) into the threaded sockets on the rear of the
instrument.
7. Mount the assembled instrument, studs, bezel and gasket into the panel.
8. Locate the flush mount bracket (6) onto the fixing studs and secure the assem-
bly to the panel with the thumb-nuts (5).
Bracket mounting
A Control Unit Mounting Bracket (Part No. E25009) enables you to mount your
ST60+ instrument in locations where other forms of mounting are impractical.
Although this provides a useful alternative method for securing your instrument,
it is only suitable for use in positions where the instrument will not be exposed to
water.
To bracket mount your ST60+ instrument, do so in accordance with the Control
Unit Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.
Fitting transducer
If you are fitting an ST60+ Compass instrument and wish to use it as a stand alone
instrument, you need to fit a Fluxgate Compass transducer.
Note:
If the ST60+ Compass instrument is to form part of a system which includes a
SeaTalk autopilot, the ST60+ Compass instrument does not need its associated Fluxgate
Compass transducer to operate as a slave to the autopilot. However, if the Fluxgate Com-
pass transducer is fitted, the instrument will operate as a master.
Installation
Determine a suitable position for the Fluxgate Compass transducer, as described
under
Site requirements
