devices at the time of installation to ensure compatibility.
Go to www.fusionentertainment.com/marine to download the
latest software. Software updates and instructions are available
on your device product page.
Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the
device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed dangerous
to touch. Therefore the unit must be installed in a location where
it will not be touched during operation.
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 device must be mounted in a location where it is not
submerged.
• The device must be mounted in a location with adequate
ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
• The device should be mounted so that the cables can be
connected easily.
• To achieve IPX3 water ingress protection and optimal heat
sink cooling, the device must be mounted on a vertical
surface with the connectors pointing downward.
• The device can be mounted on a horizontal surface, but such
positioning might not achieve IPX3 water ingress protection.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should be installed at least 203 mm (8 in.) away from a
compass.
Mounting the FUSION BB300 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.
NOTE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into
fiberglass and overtightened. It is recommended to apply an
anti-seize lubricant to the screws before installing them.
NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not
be suitable for the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting
location and determine what screws and other mounting
hardware are needed for the surface.
1
Place the device in the mounting location and mark the
location of the pilot holes.
2
Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3
Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one
corner and examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
4
Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the
device from the mounting surface.
5
Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6
Secure the device to the mounting location.
Connection Considerations
The device must be connected to power, either the boat ignition
or an external switch, a NMEA 2000
®
network, speakers, and
media input sources to function correctly. You should carefully
plan the layout of the device, the NMEA 2000 network, the
speakers, and your input sources before making any
connections.
