CONDENSING UNIT LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The design of the BG 2000 allows placement of the unit in an enclosed space such as a
cabin locker, sail locker or engine area.
The BG 2000 is a high-powered unit. It produces some noise and vibration. Its duty
cycle will be short however, consider that dockside operation may be noticed when the
generator is not masking the sound. Bulkhead mounting is fine, but avoid mounting on
a bulkhead that may resonate into the cabin area. If an under bunk installation is used,
turning off the thermostat at night will avoid startling you should the unit start.
SERVICE ACCESS
Service access and installation require that the front and left end (water fitting end) be
accessible.
RECEIVER FILTER DRIER (RFD) VISIBILITY
LOCATION: The RFD is in the left corner of the compressor unit. Be sure that it can be
viewed from the top. A mirror might be mounted above the glass to allow ease of
inspection if the unit is to be mounted close to an overhang or under a deck.
MOUNTING
Mount the BG 2000 level. The unit may be bulkhead or platform mounted. It may be
hung from its case. Use the aluminum ell brackets supplied. The 1/4-20 X 1-3/4
Stainless screws thread into the Well-nut mounts at the back corners of the housing.
Mount holes for standard fasteners are also drilled in the forward edge of the bottom of
the cabinet.
PLATE MOUNTING
SEA FROST holdover plates mount with a
"Wellnut" expandable neoprene blind hole
fastener. A template or the part itself
should be used to locate the mounting
holes. Drill 1/4" pilot holes then increase
them to 1/2". Install the screw into the
mounting tab then screw the mount onto
the screw. Install the plate pushing the
rubber mounts Into the predrilled holes.
Tighten the screws firmly.
