TRACKER 5380 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN
2 Bracket Mounting
Requires a panel for mounting the bracket.
Ensure that the panel is not likely to deform
and is not subject to excessive vibration. The
bracket can be tilted and rotated. The display
unit can be removed when it is not in use.
1 Hold the bracket in place and mark the
screw holes.
2 Drill the screw holes and screw the bracket
in place. Do not overtighten the screws or
the display unit might not rotate.
3 Hold the display unit in place on the
mounting bracket shaft. Hand tighten the
knob on the mounting bracket.
Select a position for the display unit:
• At least 4” (100 mm) away from the
compass, at least 12” (300 mm) away from
any radio transmitter and at least 4 ft (1.2
m) away from any antenna.
• Easy to read and operate. If possible, mount
the display unit in front of the navigator or
to the right of the navigator because the
LCD display is more readable from these
positions.
• Not exposed to the direct sun or water and
protected from physical damage during
rough sea passages.
• Easy to access the 12 V DC power source
and convenient to route the transducer
cables.
There are two mounting arrangements:
1 Flush Mounting
Requires a solid panel with access behind
for wiring and mounting screws. After flush
mounting, the display unit cannot be tilted
or moved after installation to reduce any
unwanted glare or reflections. Carefully select
the best viewing position before installation.
This would generally be in a shaded area.
1 Cut a hole in the bulkhead for the display
unit using the flush mount template.
2 Drill four holes for the mounting studs
using the flush mount template.
3 Screw the four studs into the brass inserts
in the back of the display unit.
4 Sit the display unit in place and fit the
washers and nuts to the studs.
For the TRACKER 5380i, with the internal GPS
antenna:
The display unit must have a good view
of the sky and horizon. The view should
not be blocked by large parts of the
superstructure.
The unit can be under glass, perspex,
fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal or
wood.
Do not mount the unit within 3 m (10 ft) of
a radio transmitter antenna or within 0.5m
(20 in) of the plane of a radar antenna.
