Mounting Considerations
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications ( Specifications). Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.
The mounting surface must be flat to avoid damaging the device when it is mounted.
When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.
-
The mounting surface must be strong enough to support pressing the buttons on the device and to protect it from excessive vibration or shock.
-
To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install the device closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
-
The area behind the mounting surface must allow room for the routing and connection of the cables.
-
Flush mount: You can cut an opening in the surface and drill pilot holes so the device is secured closer to the surface.
-
Surface mount: Instead of cutting an opening in the surface, you can use the included spacer to install the device on top of the surface. For this option, you will drill a cable-passthrough hole and pilot holes.
