Alternatively, you can use the kit supplied to surface mount or rail mount the unit. The aluminium base of the Raystar 114 has received a chromation treatment which adds toughness, resistance to wear and tear, and resistance to corrosion of the assembly. The base of the sensor has a slot cut into it to feed the pre-wired cable externally of the mount. If the cable is fed through this slot, it should be secured with a cable tie to the base of the unit. If you prefer to feed the cable through the mount, it will be necessary to cut the cable as the connector will not feed-through. You should reconnect the cable using a connector block, refer to the Connections section for cable details. The cable assembly supplied is 15m (49ft 3in) in length with a moulded 6-pin connector fitted at the receiver end. The cable should be run as directly as possible to the navigation console or to the external navigation device. The cable can be cut as necessary to the required length, or coiled and stored out of the way.
