Spx To Seatalk Ng Connection - Raymarine SPX 10 Installation Instructions Manual

Implementation
If several items require grounding, they may first
be connected to a single local point (e.g. within a
switch panel), with this point connected via a single,
appropriately-rated conductor, to the boat's common
ground. The preferred minimum requirement for the
path to ground (bonded or non-bonded) is via a flat
tinned copper braid, with a 30 A rating (1/4 inch) or
greater. If this is not possible, an equivalent stranded
wire conductor maybe used, rated as follows:
• for runs of <1 m (3 ft), use 6 mm
greater.
• for runs of >1 m (3 ft), use 8 mm 2
In any grounding system, always keep the length of
connecting braid or wires as short as possible.
Important: Do NOT connect this product to a
positively-grounded power system.
