GMI 10 Installation Instructions
To obtain the best possible performance, install your GMI 10 Marine Instrument according to the following instructions.
If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin Product Support, or seek the advice of a professional
installer.
The GMI 10 will communicate with NMEA 2000- or NMEA 0183-compatible sensors and devices, and can show
information such as speed, heading, water depth, and fuel information when connected to the appropriate sens

Step 1: Selecta Location for the GMI 10 Consider the following when you select an installation location: • Provides optimal viewing as you operate your vessel. • Allows easy access to the keypad on the GMI 10. • Is strong enough to support the weight of the GMI 10 and protect it from excessive vibration or shock. • Allows room for the routing and connection of the cables. There should be at least a 3 inch (8 cm) clearance behind the case. 1 • Is at least 9 / in. (241 mm) from a magnetic com

7. Place the GMI10 into the cutout. 8. Securely tighten the four mounting screws through the GMI 10 into the drilled mounting holes. NOTE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainless anti-seize lubricant to the screw before using. 9. Install the mounting covers by snapping them into place. Step3: Connect the GMI 10 to Sensors and to Power The GMI 10 can connect to sensors using either

Connecting the GMI 10 through NMEA 0183 The GMI 10 can receive NMEA 0183 data from one device. The GMI 10 displays the received data, but cannot transmit the data to another NMEA 0183 device or transmit the data to a NMEA 2000 network. Use the diagrams to wire a NMEA 0183 device to your GMI 10. Use 22 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair wiring for extended runs of wire. Solder all connections and seal them with heat-shrink tubing.
