Installation
Please refer to the Warranty Information section of this manual before
proceeding with installation of the G7.
Tools Required
General-purpose tools such as a portable drill, pliers, wire cutters,
screwdrivers, wire, mounting bolts and wrenches will be required. An accurate
voltmeter or multi-meter would also be useful.
Power Supply
NMEA 0183 setup: Unit is powered by the vessel's or vehicle's power supply
system and must have an adequate circuit breaker or fuse. Power supply must
be in voltage range of 9 to 36 volts DC. It is recommended to connect the unit
to power via an on/off switch.
Ensure adequate wire sizes are used to handle the expected maximum
currents (see 19).

involved.

Hazard warning!
Extreme caution is advised when using tools powered
by alternating current (AC) from main supply circuits,
regardless of whether those circuits are rated for
"indoor", "outdoor", "marine" or "industrial" use. Water,
especially sea water, is an excellent conductor of
electricity, and can complete a path to AC Ground
through your body, causing injury or death, if a tool
malfunctions or short-circuits.
Battery powered tools are
recommended
If AC tools are used, they must be plugged into a
circuit that is adequately protected against Ground
Faults and other safety hazards, in accordance with
local electrical codes.
Ensure that the G7's Operating & Storage Temperature Ranges are
not exceeded (see Specificatio in Appendix 1).
The G7 unit operates in an environment with up to 100% relative
humidity. The G7 unit and cable are water resistant – but are not
submersible.
