Installing MV/MU-Series Systems
Physical Installation
Use a thread-locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal-tometal threaded connections.
Installing the Camera Unit
The MV/MU-Series camera can be mounted in an upright or upside down position.
A rubber O-ring is provided for use during the camera installation.
As an alternative to the mounting O-ring, you can use a marine-grade sealant such as 3M 4200 or the equivalent.
Mounting Upright
Caution:
The cable connectors terminating the pigtail cables on the camera are not sealed connectors; therefore, appropriate sealing steps are needed to protect the connections and the camera.
Caution:
Before drilling holes, ensure you have first followed the steps outlined in
the planning section (page 5). For example, it is important to test the unit at the
planned installation location with typical vessel electronics active prior to mounting the camera.
Using the template supplied with the camera as a guide, mark the location of the holes for mounting the camera. Make sure the template is oriented properly relative to the bow of the vessel; observe that the forward direction is reversed for the balldown installation. If the template is printed, be sure it is printed to scale so the dimensions are correct.
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install the ten (10) threaded studs into the base of the camera with thread-locking compound. Install the rubber
O-ring in the base of the camera. Thread the power supply, video, and Ethernet cables from the camera through the center hole, and then place the camera on the mounting surface so the threaded studs extend through the drilled holes. Then secure the camera body to the mounting surface with the supplied nuts and washers. As needed, the threaded studs can be replaced with studs of a different length or cut to a shorter length.
Warnin g:
When mounting the camera in a ball-down position, the installer must ensure the camera is installed with adequate drainage so that standing water does not collect above the cable glands. Standing water will eventually seep past the cable gland seals and compromise the internal electronics. Failure to properly install or seal these glands could void the camera warranty.
Caution:
When installing the camera, do not tighten the fastener in the threaded hole so far that it contacts the bottom of the threaded hole. Maximum insertion should not exceed 25 mm (1 in), and torque should not exceed 28 N·m
(20.6 lb· ft).

Foot
Panel thickness up to 44.5 mm

Panel thickness less than 7.9 mm
Installing the Joystick Control Unit (JCU)
The cable gland seal is designed for use with double-shielded category 5 Ethernet cable. To ensure a good seal and to maintain compliance with EMI ratings, a double-shielded cable is required.
The JCU enclosure is rated IP66 above the JCU mounting surface/gasket and rated
IP64 behind or below the gasket.
Caution
: An installation template is provided in the JCU ICD. If you print the template from the PDF file, ensure that it was printed to the correct scale by checking the dimensions prior to cutting any holes.
Standard JCU Mounting Instructions
1.
Using the JCU template supplied as a guide in Doc. # 500-0385-19, mark the location of the rectangular opening that will allow the JCU to be recessed in the vessel’s control console. Ensure the corners are marked precisely and cut square.
2.
Apply the adhesive side of the rubber gasket to the back of the JCU on the surface that faces the mounting platform. The JCU comes with 4 panel mounting clamps that can be reversed when the thickness of the panel material is less than 7.9 mm (5/16 or 0.31 in); see instructions below. Ensure the mounting clamps are rotated inward and are recessed so the entire JCU fits into the hole
3.
Remove boots from both ends of the Ethernet cable, as it may interfere with the coupling gland. The boot may cause the RJ45 connector tab to depress, which can lead to intermittent connections.
4.
Loosen or remove the cable gland nut on the JCU, and insert the Ethernet cable
RJ45 connector through the gland nut. Once the Ethernet cable is connected to the JCU, replace the gland nut and turn the nut 1/4 turn beyond hand tight.
5.
Insert the JCU into the hole and secure with the 4 corner screws. Rotate each screw one full turn and ensure the mounting clamps are rotated outward from the JCU housing. Tighten the screws to draw the mounting clamps up against the mounting surface and then tighten another quarter or half turn. Do not over tighten the screws.
Mounting the JCU to a Thin Panel
As shipped from the factory, the JCU can be mounted to dash thicknesses ranging from 7.9 mm to 44.5 mm (0.31 in to 1.75 in). The clamps are set with the small foot on each clamp facing away from the panel, as shown.
If you intend to mount the JCU to a panel of 7.9 mm (0.31 in) thickness or less, remove the clamps from the mounting screws, turn them around and thread them back onto each of the four screws. The foot on each clamp now faces the panel and allows the clamp to contact thinner panel surfaces while still allowing for proper compression of the JCU mounting gasket to form a watertight seal.

Mounting the JCU Key Pad Front Cover
Note:
The JCU is shipped without the front cover installed. The face of the JCU has an adhesive layer, covered by a removable film, to secure the front cover after the JCU is installed in its final location.
1.
Pull up the tab to remove the adhesive protection film and expose the adhesive layer.
2.
Install the key pad front cover over the joystick ensuring that the joystick boot is not caught between the cover and the JCU.
3.
Position the cover starting with the bottom corners and then press into the adhesive on all edges. The cover should snap into place flush with the JCU bezel.
Pull tab to expose adhesive
