Mounting Considerations

You can install the device using a flush-mount installation or a gimbal bracket mount.

When choosing a mounting location, consider the following factors:

• The mounting location should provide a clear view of the screen and access to the device buttons.
• The mounting location must be strong enough to support the device and the mount.
• Cables must be long enough to connect the components and power.
• Avoid magnetic interference. Do not install the device closer to a compass than the distance specified in the product specifications to ensure proper compass operation.

Installing the Device on a Gimbal Bracket

NOTICE

If you are installing the mount on a fiberglass surface using screws, it is recommended to use a countersink drill bit to create a shallow pilot hole only through the top layer of gelcoat. This can help prevent the gelcoat from cracking when you tighten the screws.

You can mount the device on a flat surface using the gimbal bracket.

1. Use the gimbal bracket 1 as a template and mark the pilot hole locations 2.
2. Drill pilot holes using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit.
3. Attach the gimbal bracket to the surface using the included washers and wood screws 3.
4. Install the gimbal knobs 4 on both sides of the device.
5. Mount the device on the gimbal bracket and tighten the knobs.
6. Install the trim pieces by snapping them around the edges of the device.

Flush Mounting the Device

NOTICE

Be careful when cutting the opening for the flush-mount installation. There is very little clearance between the housing and the opening, so be careful not to cut the opening too large, as this could compromise the stability of the device after installation.

Using a prying tool, such as a screwdriver, can damage the trim pieces and the device. If possible, use a plastic prying tool.

You can install the device in the dashboard using the template and the included flush-mount screws.

1. Attach the template to the mounting location.
2. Drill one or more holes in the corners of the dashed line on the template using an 8.5 mm (11/32 in.) drill bit to prepare the mounting surface for sawing.
3. Cut the mounting surface along the dashed line using a jigsaw or angle grinder.
4. Insert the device into the opening and check the fit.
5. If necessary, use a file or sandpaper to adjust the size of the opening.
6. Using a plastic prying tool or screwdriver, carefully pry up the corners of the trim pieces and remove them.
7. Place the device into the opening and check that the mounting holes on the device align with the pilot holes on the template.
8. If the mounting holes on the device do not align with the pilot holes on the template, mark new hole locations.
9. Drill pilot holes using a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit.
10. Remove the template from the mounting surface.
11. Install the rubber gasket on the back of the device 1. The individual pieces of the rubber gasket have adhesive on the back. Before installing them on the device, make sure you remove the protective liner.
12. Connect all necessary cables (Port View, page 2) and turn the locking collars clockwise to secure the cables to the device before inserting it into the opening.

NOTICE

On unused ports, install the included protective caps to prevent corrosion of the metal contacts.

1. Insert the device into the opening.
2. Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included screws.
3. Install the trim pieces by snapping them around the edges of the device.

Connecting Cables

After connecting the cables to the device, turn the locking collars clockwise to secure each cable.

Connecting the Device to a Transducer

To determine which transducer is best for your needs, visit garmin.com/transducers or contact your local Garmin dealer.

NOTE: If you are using an existing transducer, and the transducer cable connector does not match the port on the device, you may need a transducer cable adapter to connect the existing transducer to this device. For more information about transducer accessories, visit garmin.com.

1. Follow the instructions supplied with the transducer to properly install the transducer on the boat.
2. Route the transducer cable to the back of the device, ensuring it does not run near sources of electrical interference.
3. Align the keyed slot on the transducer cable connector with the 12 PIN XDCR port on the back of the device.

NOTICE

You must align the openings in the transducer cable connector with the pins in the cable port. If you do not connect the cable correctly, you can damage the device.

1. Push the connector into the port until it is fully seated.
2. If the device operates erratically, the cable connector may not be fully seated. Remove it from the port, verify the pins are aligned, and push it firmly into the port.

Network Connection Considerations

The NETWORK port can be used to connect a compatible Garmin device, such as a LiveScope transducer, a GCV™ sonar module, or another ECHOMAP chartplotter. This device is not compatible with the Garmin BlueNet™ or Garmin Marine Network, so do not connect devices such as GPSMAP chartplotters or Garmin radar.

When connecting a compatible device to the NETWORK port, observe the following factors and requirements:

• All devices connected to the NETWORK port must be connected to the same ground source as this device. If multiple power sources are used for the devices, connect all power source ground terminals with a low-resistance connection or connect them to a common ground bus bar, if available.
• You must use a Garmin Network cable for all connections to the NETWORK port.
• Using CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables and RJ45 connectors from other manufacturers is not permitted.
• Additional Garmin Network cables and connectors are available from your Garmin dealer.
• Although not recommended, you can make a custom-length Garmin Network cable using field-installable connectors, if necessary. Follow the instructions included with the connectors.

NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations

NOTICE

When connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA 2000 power cable should be connected to the NMEA 2000 network for the network to operate correctly.

Use the NMEA 2000 power control switch (010-11580-00) when the manufacturer of the existing NMEA 2000 network is unknown.

If you are installing an NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or another switched source. The NMEA 2000 devices drain the battery when the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected directly to the battery.

You can connect the device to an NMEA 2000 network on the boat to share data from NMEA 2000-compatible devices, such as a GPS antenna or VHF radio. NMEA 2000 cables and connectors are sold separately.

This device is not powered by the NMEA 2000 network. You must connect the device to a power source.

If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000 networks, read the NMEA 2000 device technical references at garmin.com/manuals/nmea_2000.

The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the wiring harness is used to connect to a standard NMEA 2000 network.

NMEA 2000 Network Components

Connecting to HDMI Video Out

NOTICE

To prevent corrosion from moisture, you must use Garmin cables to connect the chartplotter and the video display. If you use other cables, the warranty is voided.

ECHOMAP Ultra 2 16xsv chartplotter models have an HDMI output, which allows you to duplicate the chartplotter screen on another device, such as a television or monitor.

The Garmin HDMI cable is 4.5 m (15 ft) long. If you need a longer cable, use only an active HDMI cable. To connect two HDMI cables, you need an HDMI coupler.

You must connect cables in a dry environment.
