POWER CONNECTIONS

The installation of a switch is necessary to turn On or Off the FF525. STANDARD HORIZON
recommends connecting the FF525 and Chart Plotter to the same power switch (not
supplied) and fused source as shown in the following images below. Normally spare rocker
switch on a dash is used.

GPS CHART PLOTTER CONNECTIONS

The FF525 is connected to STANDARD HORIZON Chart Plotters via the Tee Cable. Refer
to the following images below.
2.3.1

Tee Cable

If the Tee Cable connector is too large to route through your boat, the FF525 can be opened
to remove the cable for easier routing. Also if the Tee Cable is not long enough cable can
also be added. For some installations, the Tee connector may protrude too far from the rear
of the Chart Plotter when the power cable is connected also. If this is the case the Tee
connector may be removed. After removal connect each wire of the FF525 and the Chart
Plotter via a terminal strip in a dry location or solder and heat shrink wire color to wire color
as shown in the table below:
