SECTION TWO: Installing and wiring the 958
958 Installation Manual, Rev. A1 Page 5
Flush-mounting the 958
When flush mounting, leave at least two and a half inches of clearance space behind the
mounting panel for all of the cables and connectors. Flush mounting requires good ventilation
behind the mounting panel. Poor ventilation will cause the 958 to overheat, which, in turn, may
cause the display screen to darken. For overall width and height requirements, see the Northstar 958
Flush-Mounting Template (P/N GT958), which you can use to drill the mounting holes and cut the
mounting panel in the exact recommended locations.
Yoke-mounting the 958
For the recommended mounting clearances, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 below.
Figure 2: 958 yoke-mount dimensions (side)
CAUTION!
When flush mounting, be sure to mount the 958 on a flat surface.
Mounting on a curved surface can break or distort the plastic and
break the waterproof seal. Do not overtighten the mounting screws;
you may damage the case and compromise its waterproof seal. This
type of physical damage will void the warranty.
