Before You Begin
Before mounting your Vanemar Gateway, take a few moments to prepare your boat and ensure a safe working environment.
Secure Your Boat
Make sure your boat is stationary and securely moored before starting the installation.
Prepare the Mounting Surface
Choose a clean, dry, and flat mounting surface. Make sure the area is easily accessible and provides enough space for installation.
For guidance on choosing a suitable location, see Picking the Ideal Installation Spot.
Mounting Your Gateway
Choose one of the following mounting methods to securely attach your Gateway.
Option 1: Using Adhesive Mounting Strips (No Drilling Required)
Step 1: Prepare the Mounting Strips
The box includes four Dual Lock mounting strips, connected in pairs.
Remove the protective film from one side of each pair, then align and attach the strips to the back of the Gateway as shown.
Step 2: Secure the Gateway
Remove the remaining protective film from the mounting strips.
Position your Gateway on the prepared mounting surface and press firmly to secure it in place.
Make sure the Gateway is firmly attached and does not move easily.
Option 2: Using Screws
Step 1: Prepare for Mounting
Open the side covers of your Gateway to reveal the mounting holes.
Position the Gateway at your chosen mounting location and identify where the screws should be placed.
Step 2: Secure the Gateway
Use the screws included in the box and a suitable screwdriver or drill to securely fasten the Gateway to the mounting surface.
Make sure the Gateway is firmly attached and does not move easily.
Warning: Take care not to damage your boat or any components behind the mounting surface during installation.
Important: Proximity Sensor
The proximity sensor on the back of your Vanemar Gateway detects when the device is separated from its mounting surface, helping identify unauthorized removal or tampering attempts.
To help prevent false alarms, make sure your Gateway is securely attached to the mounting surface.
After Installation
Once your Gateway is mounted:
Make sure the Gateway is securely attached and does not move easily.
Check that the power and antenna cables are properly connected and are not pinched or under tension.
Make sure the mounting location remains accessible for future maintenance if needed.
