4. Configurazione e installazione

Proper installation is crucial for the accurate and reliable operation of your GPS speedometer. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.

4.1 Montaggio del misuratore

1. Choose a suitable location on your dashboard or panel that is flat, stable, and provides clear visibility.
2. Ensure there is sufficient space behind the panel for the gauge body and wiring.
3. Cut a mounting hole with a diameter of 85mm (3-3/8 inches).
4. Inserire il misuratore nel foro di montaggio.
5. Secure the gauge using the provided mounting bracket and nuts from the rear of the panel. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.

4.2 Collegamenti di cablaggio

Connect the multi-plug socket wiring harness to the back of the gauge. Ensure connections are secure and waterproofed where necessary.

• Filo rosso: Connect to +12V/24V DC power supply (ignition switched).
• Filo nero: Collegare a terra (-).
• Yellow/Orange Wire: Connect to dashboard illumination for backlight control (optional, can be connected to +12V/24V for constant backlight).
• Filo blu: (If present) Connect to external switch for unit change or other functions as per specific model.

4.3 Installazione dell'antenna GPS

The GPS antenna is critical for signal reception. Install it in a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Avoid placing it under metal structures or near other electronic devices that may cause interference.

• Mount the GPS antenna securely using its adhesive base or mounting screws.
• Route the antenna cable to the back of the speedometer, ensuring it is protected from damage and moisture.
• Connect the antenna cable to the designated port on the speedometer.

5. Funzionamento

5.1 Accensione

Once properly installed and wired, turn on the vessel's ignition. The speedometer will power on and begin searching for GPS satellite signals. This process may take a few moments, especially during the first use or after a long period of inactivity.

5.2 Lettura del display

The digital display shows several pieces of information:

• SOG (velocità rispetto al suolo): This is the primary speed reading, typically displayed in large digits.
• Unità: The speed unit (Knots, Km/h, or Mph) will be indicated next to the SOG value.
• COG (rotta rispetto al suolo): Indicates the current direction of travel.
• Contachilometri/contachilometri parziale: Displays accumulated mileage or trip distance.

5.3 Changing Units and Backlight

The gauge typically has a button or a sequence of button presses to cycle through speed units (Knots, Km/h, Mph) and to change the backlight color (red/yellow). Refer to the specific button on your gauge or consult the wiring diagram for external switch functionality if applicable.

6. Manutenzione

The KUS GPS Speedometer is designed for low maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Pulizia: Pulire la superficie dell'indicatore con un panno morbido e damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the display or bezel.
• Connessioni: Periodically check all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure waterproof seals are intact.
• Antenna GPS: Keep the GPS antenna free from obstructions and dirt. Ensure its mounting is secure.
• Magazzinaggio: If the vessel is stored for an extended period, ensure the power to the gauge is disconnected.
