User Quick-start Guide
BCN Control Installation Instructions
- Before drilling any holes, read the entire instructions.
- Using the included template (below), mark the locations for the 3/16″ holes and the 1″ center hole.
- Check carefully to ensure there are no obstructions behind the console before drilling any holes.
- Using a 1″ diameter hole-saw, drill the center hole. Use a 3/16″ drill for the four mounting stud holes.
- Place the helm display keypad onto the console, feeding the pre-connected wires through the 1″ center hole while inserting the screws into each of the four holes.
- Once the control plate is properly seated, use the 4 white nylon thumb nuts provided to secure the display.
- Plug the 3 ft. wire harness on the display to the 3 ft. wire harness on the BCN Diagnostics Relay Module (If cable length is not long enough, an extension is available as part number BHW40XX).
- Connect the orange wire to the power source for the gauges at the helm. This will power the control with all other dash devices.
- Connect the purple wire to the ignition switch (or any 12V circuit that turns ON and OFF with ignition) for auto tab retraction. This wire is used to initiate Auto Tab Retraction (ATR) when the ignition is switched to the OFF position. If ATR is not desired, this connection may be omitted.
