2.6 Electrical connection

Electrical connection is the same for SeaWays and SeaWays GO.
The SeaWays sensor connects to the Optimus CAN2 or CAN3 network.
CAN3 (public N2K network) is the preferred connection if an approved
chartplotter is used. If the sensor is installed on public network, it can
replace any other GPS or compasses.
For the SeaWays sensor:
The installation kit for SeaWays comes with a 20 foot network cable, a 1 foot
network cable and a tee connector. If the 6-way hub in the Optimus 360
installation is full, remove the terminator and connect the 1 foot network
cable in its place. Install the tee connector at the opposite end of the 1 foot
cable and reinstall the terminator on the tee. The 20 foot cable can now be
routed from the tee connector up to the GPS sensor. If the 20 foot network
cable is not long enough to reach from the network backbone to the GPS
sensor, the backbone should be extended to accommodate this.
For the SeaWays GO sensor:
The installation kit for SeaWays GO comes with a 15 foot network cable and
a tee connector. If the hub in the Optimus EPS or 360 installation is full, remove
the terminator and install the tee connector and then reinstall the terminator
on the newly added tee. The 15 foot network cable can now be routed from
the tee connector to the compass sensor. If the 15 foot network cable is not
long enough to reach from the network backbone to the heading sensor,
the backbone should be extended to accommodate this.
