We recommend having your NCSP35 installed by a reputable RV dealership Tools and Supplies You will need these tools and supplies to install your NCSP35 :
Phillips screwdriver
#2 square drive bit Wire cutters and strippers Electrical tape Volt meter/test light Crimping tool Fork Crimp connectors Minimum of 24 gauge wire required to connect DC to BCM 10 gauge wire for power and slide connections 14 and 18 gauge wire for all other connections Four #8 PH (0.164 x 0.75) screws for the DC Six #8 PH (0.164 x 1.0) screws for the BCM Disconnecting the battery To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off 12V power and remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation. Selecting the Mounting Location Select a mounting location, taking care to avoid the following:
Places exposed to heat-radiating appliances such as electric heaters Adjacent to other equipment that radiates heat Under thermostats Poorly-ventilated or dusty places Moist or humid locations Mounting the Display Commander (DC) Use the mounting hole diagram to measure and cut a mounting hole, allowing space below for future programming and behind for ventilation Route power and transmit wires through the hole and connect Check and ensure correct operation Mount the unit using four #8 PH (0.164 x 0.75) screws Attach Trim ring CUTOUT FOR DISPLAY COMMANDER (DC) RECOMMENDED CUTOUT WALL FOR REFERENCE CUTOUT 3.0"
4.3"
NOTE: Before cutting the mounting hole, make sure the area behind the mounting location is clear of wires, fuel and vacuum or water lines; ensure there is at least a 2.75clearance below the Display Commander to allow for programming by USB stick. 5 NCSP35 WIRING The Wiring Diagram Depicts All The Wiring Connections Required For Proper Operation Of The Unit.
