2. GETTING STARTED 2.0 MOUNTING THE GPS CHARTPLOTTER The CPV350 is supplied with hardware for bracket or flush mounting. Below are pictures showing actual examples of the two types of installation. 2.1 BRACKET MOUNTING The CPV350 can be mounted using the supplied bracket. Before installing ensure the area the CPV350’s bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the weight of the CPV350 especially while under way. After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using t

2.2 FLUSH MOUNTING The CPV350 is supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and screw holes required to install the CPV350. NOTE Before drilling holes ensure there are no obstructions behind the location that could interfere with the mounting and there is physically enough room to mount the CPV350. 1. After a location is found, peal the template label from the backing and apply the label to the mounting area. 2. Drill a hole in one area of the cut area that will allow the blade o

The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of

2.3.3 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable - a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below. Figure 2.4.0 Install

2.3.4 Optional Enhanced Second VHF/PA Station INSTALLATION The CPV350 is capable of using up to 2 Enhanced RAM+ mics or VH-310 Handset to remotely control the Radio, DSC, and Distress functions. In addition the CPV350 can operate as a full function intercom system. 1. Connect the Routing Cable to the one of the Remote Mic eight pin connector on the rear panel, then tighten the Cable Nut. 2. Referring to Figure 3, make a 1.2” (30 mm) hole in the wall, then insert the Routing Cable into this hole.
