- Introduction
- 3.1 Mounting the display
- CAUTION: Installation
- Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the selected location before proceeding.
- Make sure there is sufficient rear access for mounting AND cabling.
- Trunnion mount
- 1. Mark the location of the trunnion bracket screw holes on the chosen mounting surface.
- 2. Drill pilot holes for the screws using a suitable drill, taking care that there are no cables or anything that may be damaged behind the surface.
- 3. Use the 5 bolts supplied (together with the washers and nuts) to securely attach the bracket.
- 4. Before attaching the display unit to the bracket:
- i. Locate the front cover clip-on over the front of the display - see page 26.
- ii. Check that the buttons have passed through the cover and are free to operate. It is suggested that you use your thumb or forefinger in a circular motion to do this.
- 5. Attach the display unit into the trunnion bracket, adjusting the unit to the required angle for clear vision.
- 6. Tighten the trunnion knobs.
- 1. Mark the location of the trunnion bracket screw holes on the chosen mounting surface.
- Flush mount
- 1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the unit, is required.
- 2. Fix the appropriate template - E80 or E120, supplied in the document wallet, to the selected location, using self-adhesive tape.
- 3. Using a suitable hole saw, the size is indicated on the template, make a pilot hole in each corner of the cut-out area.
- 4. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
- 5. Ensure that the unit fits into the area that has been cut out and then file around the cut edge until smooth.
- 6. Drill four 4.5 mm (1/8 inch approx) holes as indicated on the template, to accept the securing bolts.
- 7. Remove the backing tape from the panel seal and place the seal onto the display unit and press firmly onto the flange.
- 8. Connect all the cables that are in use to the rear of the display, avoiding tight bends.
- 9. Slide the unit into the console and secure using the bolts supplied.
- 10. Fit the front cover clip-on onto the display - see page 26.
- 1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the unit, is required.
- Attaching the front cover clip-on
- 1. Carefully lift one edge of the screen protection film, so that it is accessible for removing when unit installation is complete.
- 2. Place the front cover clip-on onto the E-Series Display, ensuring that the locking lugs (located at the bottom edge of the covers) are latched into position.
- 3. Ensure that the control buttons pass through their respective openings.
- 4. Apply firm but even pressure to the cover along the:
- i. outer edges - work from the sides upwards and then along the top edge, to ensure that it clips securely into position.
- 1. Carefully lift one edge of the screen protection film, so that it is accessible for removing when unit installation is complete.
- Removing the front cover clip-on
- 1. To prevent damaging your dash or placing undue strain on the trunnion bracket, remove the unit from its mounting before proce...
- 2. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver placed in the aperture at the top right of the front cover clip-on, gently twist it to release the top clips.
- 3. Working from this corner, free the clips along the top edge of the display by hand, then work towards the bottom edge. Taking care to ensure that the control buttons pass through the clip-on. DO NOT lever along the top edge.
- 4. Carefully free the locating clips at the bottom of the clip-on by lowering it away from the unit - DO NOT USE A SCREWDRIVER FOR THIS AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE CLIPS.
