Robust AMPS mount with power/audio cable

The robust AMPS Garmin mount (reference 010-12881-08) is designed for installation and power supply of compatible Garmin devices on motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATV). It provides an integrated solution for mounting your device while supplying power, audio connections, and serial data transfer capabilities. Its design is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.

This mount is distinguished by several key features:

A rugged design to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.An integrated power/audio cable with stripped wires for full connectivity.Connections for power, serial data input/output, and an audio jack.A waterproof cap to protect the base contacts.A security screw to prevent theft of the device and accidental unlocking.

The electrical specifications of the bracket are as follows:

Input voltage: 10 to 30 V
Recommended fuse: 3 A
Maximum input current: 1.5 A

The mount is designed to operate within an extended temperature range, from -20°C to 60°C. This ensures its performance in various outdoor environments.

The watertight cap is included to protect the metal contacts of the mount base from weather and moisture. It helps prevent damage to the equipment when the device is not installed in the mount.

The security screw integrated into the mount has a dual function: it deters theft of the device and also prevents accidental pressing of the unlock tab, ensuring the device remains securely in place.

Yes, the unit is supplied with the parts required for two handlebar installation options. However, custom mounts may require additional hardware not included.

The mount is equipped with a power/audio cable with stripped wires. You must connect these wires to a suitable power source. It is strongly recommended to have the device installed by an experienced technician with appropriate knowledge of electrical circuits to avoid damaging the vehicle or the battery.

The power/audio cable includes several wires with specific functions:

Red (+): Power supplyBlack (-): GroundYellow: Serial data inputBlue: Serial data outputGreen: Data ground wireAudio jack: For audio connection

Yes, it is not recommended to route cables near high heat sources. Ensure you also have a clear view and route cables securely to prevent any damage.

To install your device in the bracket:

Ensure the metal contacts of both the device and the bracket are dry.Place the waterproof cap in the designated storage slot on the bracket.Align the device’s contacts with those of the bracket, then insert the device’s side into the base, starting with the contacts.Tilt the device toward the opposite side until it clicks into place to prevent it from falling.Tighten the security screw on the side of the bracket using the provided tool.

To remove your device from the mount:

Loosen the security screw.Press the button on the mount to release the device.Lift the device off the mount.Place the waterproof cap over the base contacts to protect them.

The mount offers two installation solutions for the tiller:

U-bracket installation: The U-bracket is positioned around the tiller and its ends are inserted into the base of the mount, then tightened with nuts. Fixation to brake or clutch levers: The mount can be attached by replacing the original bolts of the brake or clutch levers with the supplied new bolts, using spacers if necessary.

Tighten the U-bracket nuts to a torque of 50 lbf-in (5.65 N·m). Do not exceed 80 lbf-in (9.04 N·m) to avoid damaging the bracket or the handlebar.

Yes, it is essential to place the mounting spacers between the bracket and the base plate. This prevents direct and sustained contact with the base plate or any other part of the engine, which could damage the bracket over time.

Yes, Garmin strongly recommends having the device installed by an experienced technician with appropriate knowledge of electrical circuits. Incorrect power cable connection can damage the vehicle or the battery and cause bodily injury.

This mount is designed to be compatible with rugged Garmin devices that use the AMPS mounting system and require integrated power/audio. Check your Garmin device documentation to confirm specific compatibility with this mount.

This mount is specifically designed for installing Garmin devices on motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATV). Its robust design is suited to the harsh conditions encountered with these types of vehicles.

Garmin’s standard limited warranty applies to this accessory. For detailed warranty terms and conditions, consult Garmin’s official resources.

The current draw of the mount when no device is installed is a maximum of 0.5 mA. This low consumption helps preserve the vehicle's battery when the mount is inactive.
