Installation and wiring

Mounting location

Before installing the BSM-2, consider location and cable

runs necessary to connect the module to display unit,

transducer and power source.

The mounting location must allow for required working

area when connecting the cables. Also ensure that the

location allows viewing the unit’s LED indicators.

The units should be mounted with special regard to the

units’ environmental protection, temperature range and

cable length.

The mounting surface needs to be structurally strong,

with as little vibration as possible. If possible mount the

unit close to the edges of a panel to minimize vibration.

Do not run the transducer cabling near the BSM-2 power

cables, any VHF antenna coax cables or any DC or AC

power cables. Avoid placing Ethernet cables close to VHF

antennas.

The BSM-2 conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic

Compatibility (EMC) standards, but proper installation

is required to get best use and performance from

this product. Ensure you have as much separation as

possible between different electrical equipment, (see

diagram below).

Securing BSM-2 module

Mount the BSM-2 on a vertical surface with the power

and transducer cable entries exiting downwards.

Fasten the BSM-2 by using the 4 stainless steel self

tapping screws included with the unit.

Wiring

General

The power and the transducer

cables connect with screw

terminals inside the BSM-2

unit. Refer wiring diagram and

connection details on the following

pages.

The BSM-2 contains high voltages and specialized

parts; the operator should never remove the

module’s cover without removing the power

connection.

Removing the transducer cable from the BSM-2

while the module is powered on can cause sparks.

Remove the transducer cables only after the

module has been disconnected from its power

source.
