Installing The Device In The Cradle; Wiring Harness - Garmin echoMAP 50 Series Installation Instructions Manual

There is an audible click when the locking bracket is installed
correctly.

Installing the Device in the Cradle

After the cables are connected to the cradle, you can quickly
place the device in the cradle.
1 Place the base of the device in the bottom of the cradle.
2 Tilt the top of the device toward the cradle until it fastens in
place.
There is an audible click when the device is secured in the
cradle.
You should make sure the device is firmly secured in the cradle.
If the model uses a locking bracket, make sure the bracket is
firmly snapped close. There is an audible click when the device
or locking bracket is installed correctly. If the device is not firmly
secured, it can lose power. The device can also fall out of the
cradle and become damaged if it is not firmly secured.
Removing the Device from the Cradle
1
Press the release lever
released.
2
Tilt the device forward, and lift it out of the cradle.
NMEA 2000 Considerations
®
If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000
network, the NMEA 2000 network should already be connected
to power. Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to an
existing NMEA 2000 network, because only one power source
should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.
If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000
network or engine network by another manufacturer, you should
install a NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) between
the existing network and the Garmin devices.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must
connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line

on the cradle until the device is

switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA
2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
NMEA 2000 compatible models can connect to a NMEA 2000
network on your boat to share data from NMEA 2000 compatible
devices such as sensors or a VHF radio. The necessary NMEA
2000 cables and connectors are sold separately.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the
"NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical
Reference for NMEA 2000 Products.
The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the cradle is used to connect it
to a standard NMEA 2000 network.
NOTE: The echoMAP CHIRP 50 requires the included 4-pin to
5-pin adapter cable to connect to the NMEA 2000 network.

Wiring Harness

• The wiring harness is used for NMEA
share route and waypoint information.
• The wiring harness connects the device to power and NMEA
0183 devices.
• The device has one internal NMEA 0183 port that is used to
connect to NMEA 0183 compliant devices.
• If it is necessary to extend the power and ground wires, you
2
must use 0.82 mm (18 AWG) or larger wire.
• If it is necessary to extend the NMEA 0183 or alarm wires,
2
you must use .33 mm
0183 devices, and to
®
(22 AWG) wire.
