Power Connection
The Star Pilot requires a power source with a voltage level fiom 10
to 16 VDC. Low voltage may cause a dim clisplay. reduced signal.
weak beeper and a slow turn on. High voltage may cventually result
in lailure of some internal part. The nominal voltagc lbund on most
properly operating marine pow'er systems is 13.6 VDC. It is
recommended that you check the voltage supply which you intend to
operate fbr the proper level.
Connect the two-pin plug on the end ol'thc power supply cable to the
power supply jack located at the rear of the unit. Connect the red wire
to the positrve terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal of
vour boat's l2 VDC battcry. or the corrcsponding connections of the
main distribution panel. Avoid connecting directly to the same circuit
with any electronics which tend to draw a large amount of power,
such as brlge purnps. refri-eerators
and transmitting radios.
The power cord included with the Star Pilot includes an in-line fuse
holder with a 1.6 Amp fuse installed. Be certain when connecting the
power cord to the battery that the correct polarity is observed or the
fuse may blow and possible circuit damage may occur.
WARNING: Ncvcr replace thc Star Pilot's in-line fuse with a fuse
of a higher rating. Always replace with a fuse with a ratin-u between
I Amp. and 1.6 Arnp.
