Mounting Considerations

NOTICE

This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed

to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range

for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended

exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature

range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device

failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related

consequences are not covered by the warranty.

• You must mount the device in a location where it will not be

submerged.

• You must mount the device in a location with adequate

ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme

temperatures.

• If possible, you should mount the device horizontally, with the

top of the device facing upward.

• If you must mount the device vertically, you should orient it so

the connectors do not point upward. This helps avoid

potential water retention around the connectors.

Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure

WARNING

Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support

machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be

exposed to excessive radio-frequency (RF) fields, because the

RF field may interfere with the function of their medical

equipment.

CAUTION

This device generates and radiates radio frequency (RF)

electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe these

guidelines may expose people to RF radiation absorption

exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).

Garmin declares a MPE radius of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) for this

system, which was determined using 25 W output to an omni-

directional, 6 dBi gain antenna. The antenna should be installed

to maintain a distance of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) between the antenna

and all people.

Mounting the Device

NOTICE

If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the

pilot holes, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a

clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This

will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws

are tightened.

Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting

location and determine the mounting hardware needed for the

surface.

NOTE: Mounting hardware is included with the device, but it

may not be suitable for the mounting surface.

Place the device in the mounting location and mark the

location of the pilot holes.

Using a bit appropriate for the surface and the mounting

hardware, drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.

Loosely fasten the device to the surface with one corner and

examine the other three pilot-hole marks.

Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary.

Remove the device from the mounting surface.

Drill the appropriate pilot holes for the other three marks.

Secure the device to the mounting location.

Active Speaker Mounting Considerations

NOTICE

This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed

to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range

for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended

exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature

range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device

failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related

consequences are not covered by the warranty.

The included active speaker is optional, and is not required

when installing the VHF 315 device. When selecting a mounting

location for the active speaker, observe these considerations.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install

the active speaker closer than 50 cm (19.6 in.) to a compass.

Mounting the Active Speaker

NOTICE

Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the speaker. There is

only a small amount of clearance between the case and the

mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could

compromise the stability of the speaker after it is mounted.

Before you can mount the speaker, you must select a mounting

location.

Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting

location.

Secure the template to the mounting surface.

Using a 13 mm (

in.) drill bit, drill a hole inside the corner of

the line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for

cutting.

Using a rotary-cutting tool or jigsaw, cut the mounting surface

along the inside of the dashed line on the template.

Place the speaker in the cutout to test the fit.

If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of

the cutout.

After the speaker fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the

mounting holes on the speaker line up with the pilot holes on

the template.

If the mounting holes on the speaker do not line up, mark the

new pilot-hole locations.

Using a 3 mm (

in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.

Remove the template from the mounting surface.

Install the included mounting gasket

on the back of the

speaker.

Make the necessary wiring connections (Connecting the

Active Speaker to the VHF Radio and Handset, page 3).

Place the speaker in the cutout.

Secure the speaker to the mounting surface using the

included M4 screws

Snap the screw cover

in place.

Installing the Handset Connector in the Mounting Surface

Before drilling a hole to mount the handset connector from the

active speaker, you should mount the active speaker and verify

that the cable from the active speaker is long enough to reach

the handset-connector mounting location (Mounting the Active

Speaker, page 2).

If you do not install the active speaker, you must verify that the

included extension cable is long enough to connect to the GHS

11 STATION 1 port on the VHF radio and to the handset-

connector mounting location.

connector from the active speaker on the dashboard or other

mounting surface. If you do not install the active speaker, you

can use the hardware to mount the handset connector from the

included extension cable on the dashboard or other mounting

surface.

Using the mounting plate

as a template, trace the cable

hole in the center of the mounting plate and mark the screw

locations.

Set the mounting plate aside.

Do not drill through the mounting plate.

Using a 22 mm (

in.) drill bit or hole saw, drill the center

cable hole

in the mounting surface.

Using a 3 mm (

in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.

Apply marine sealant between the mounting plate and the

mounting surface to help seal the holes (optional).

Using the included screws, attach the mounting plate to the

mounting surface.

Select an option:

• If you installed the active speaker, route the long cable

from the active speaker to the connector mounting

location.

• If you did not install the active speaker, connect the

female end of the included extension cable to the GHS 11

STATION 1 port on the VHF radio, and route the male end

of the extension cable to the connector mounting location.

Feed the connector

through the back of the mounting

surface.
