Mounting the Card Reader

NOTICE

Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.

NOTICE

If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.

The included template and hardware can be used to flush mount the device at the selected location.

  1. Trim the flush-mount template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.
  2. Remove the protective liner from the back of the template and adhere it to the location where you want to mount the device.
  3. Using a 6 mm (¼ in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
  4. Using a jigsaw, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
  5. Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
  6. If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
  7. After the device Callout number one fits correctly in the cutout, make sure the mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot holes Callout number two on the template.

  8. If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the new pilot-hole locations.
  9. Using a center punch, indent the pilot holes and drill the clearance counterbore through the gel-coat layer as advised in the notice.
  10. Remove the template from the mounting surface.
  11. If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, connect all necessary cables to the device before placing it into the cutout.
  12. Place the device into the cutout.
  13. Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included screws Callout number three.
  14. Install the decorative bezel by snapping it in place around the edges of the device.
