GRID™ 20INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSImportant Safety Information WARNINGSee the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty. CAUTIONAlways wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.NOTICEWhen drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface.To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, install the device according to these instructions.Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin® Product Support.Software UpdateYou must update the software when you install this device.If your Garmin chartplotter has Wi‑Fi® technology, you should update the software using the ActiveCaptain™ app on a compatible Android™ or Apple® device. If your chartplotter does not have has Wi‑Fi technology, you should update the software using a memory card and a Windows® computer.For more information, go to support.garmin.com.Tools Needed• Drill and drill bits• #2 Phillips screwdriver• Jigsaw or rotary tool• File and sandpaper• Marine sealant (optional)Mounting and Connection ConsiderationsNOTICEThis 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 mounting surface must be flat to avoid damaging the device when it is mounted.This device can be mounted in a dashboard or other surface using the included hardware. When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you must notmount the device closer to a compass than TBD.• You must mount the device in a location that allows room forthe routing and connection of the NMEA 2000® and powercable or the replacement of the batteries.• To connect wirelessly, you must mount the device within 3 m(10 ft.) of the chartplotter.Mounting the DeviceNOTICEUse only the included hardware when mounting this device. Using mounting hardware not provided with the device may damage the device.Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.If you are mounting the device on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink drill bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.The included template and hardware can be used to mount the device at the selected location. The nut plates and machine screws allow you to more easily remove and replace the device when you need to change the batteries.1Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.2Secure the template to the selected location.3Using a XX mm (9/16 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.4Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line on the template.5If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.6After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the larger 6 mm (1/4 in.) holes on the template.7If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the new hole locations.8Using a 6 mm (1/4 in.) drill bit, drill the larger pilot holes.9Starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate Àover the larger hole Á drilled in step 9.The smaller hole  on the nut plate should line up with the smaller 3.6 mm (9/64 in.) hole on the template.10If the smaller hole on the nut plate does not line up with the smaller hole on the template, mark the new hole location.11Repeat for each nut plate.12Using a 3.6 mm (9/64 in.) drill bit, drill the smaller holes.13Remove the template from the mounting surface.14Starting in one corner of the mounting location, place a nut plate à on the back of the mounting surface, lining up the large and small holes.November 2018190-02445-90_0ADRAFT
The raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger hole.15Secure the nut plate to the mounting surface by fastening an included M3 screw Ä through the smaller 3.6 mm (9/64 in.) hole.16Repeat for all 4 nut plates.17Install the foam gasket Å on the back of the device.The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back. Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing them on the device.18If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, connect all necessary cables and install the AA batteries (observing polarity) as needed before placing the device into the cutout.NOTE: To prevent corrosion of the metal contacts, if you are not using the cable, firmly press the weather cap over the connector.19Apply marine sealant between the mounting surface and the device to properly seal and prevent leakage behind the dashboard.20If you will have access to the back of the device, apply marine sealant around the cutout.21Place the device into the cutout.22Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included M4 screws Æ or wood screws, depending on the mounting method.23Carefully remove and discard the rubber protective bumper.24Wipe away all excess marine sealant.25Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the top and bottom of the device.NMEA 2000 Connection ConsiderationsNOTICEIf you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 network, the NMEA 2000 network should already be connected to power. Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because only one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 network or engine network by another manufacturer, you should install a NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) between the existing network and the Garmin devices.If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.The remote connects to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat, which provides power to the remote. The included NMEA 2000 cable allows you to either connect the device to your existing NMEA 2000 network.If you need to create a NMEA 2000network and are unfamiliar with it, go to support.garmin.com for more information.Item DescriptionÀGRID 20ÁGarmin chartplotterÂIgnition or in-line switchÃNMEA 2000 power cableÄNMEA 2000 drop cableÅ12 Vdc power sourceÆNMEA 2000 terminator or backbone cableÇNMEA 2000 T-connectorÈNMEA 2000 terminator or backbone cableInstalling the BatteriesYou can use AA alkaline, NiMH, or lithium batteries.
