Wiring

This chapter describes how to wire the sonar system.

Guidelines

Do not:
•
Make sharp bends in the cables.
•
Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the
connectors.
•
Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high
current carrying cables or high frequency signal cables.
•
Run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems.
•
Run cables over sharp edges or burrs.
Do:
•
Make drip and service loops.
•
Use cable-ties on all cables to keep them secure.
•
Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or
shortening the cables.
• Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and un-
plugging of cables.
! Warning:
Before starting the installation, be sure to turn
electrical power off. If power is left on or turned on during the
installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may
occur. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible
with the unit.
