Display installation

It is recommended that the unit be powered and connected to a video source to assist in

selecting a suitable mounting location, prior to irreversible modication of the vessel’s helm

station. When planning the display location, the following points should be considered to

ensure safe, comfortable and reliable operation:

• Convenience - the mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the

controls and should enable easy viewing of the display.

• Viewing angle - this LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including

viewing angle. However, the contrast and colours seen on all LCD displays vary with

viewing angle, and therefore should be mounted in a way that makes the screen as close to

perpendicular as possible with the expected position of the operator.

• Access - there must be sucient space behind the display to allow cable connections to the

rear connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable. Also ensure there is sucient access for

tightening wing nuts/screws on the mounting brackets, where used.

• Interference - the selected location should be far enough away from devices that may

cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers.

• Magnetic compass - mount the display at least 1 metre (3 ft.) away from a magnetic

compass.

• Environment - to prevent overheating, do not restrict airow at the rear of the display unit;

ensure that there is adequate ventilation, particularly if the display unit is pod-mounted. If

the space behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan, it will help in keeping the

unit’s temperature down. The ZM16/19 displays are designed to operate in indoor/outdoor

environments and in high ambient brightness conditions, however, we recommended

the display not be mounted in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for

prolonged periods. The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive

vibration. Although the display unit is waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is

good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to

rain and salt spray.

Warning: Damage incurred to monitor through failure to provide adequate ventilation

could invalidate your warranty. Do not recess device in to an enclosure shared with a heat

source. e.g. engine compartment.

Cutout template

Use the supplied scale template to help mark up the cutout area.

¼ Note: Always check the template dimensions against the physical monitor to ensure

dimensions are correct, prior to making the cutout.

Fixing options

The ZM series monitors can be dash or bracket mounted (using optional VESA adaptor).

When dash mounting, unit should be tted using the rear mounted dash mount brackets,

and bezel screws from the front. Exclusion of the dash mount bracket will greatly increase

strain on bezel screws and adjacent bezel plastics, and is not recommended.
