Page 14: Power Connection
IS15 Expander Manual Power connection There is no power cable supplied for the Expander. Use a cable with minimum wire gauge of 1.5mm (AWG14). The outer diameter should be 10 mm (0,4”) to ensure a tight fit through the gasket. Connect the Power cable to TB1 on the IS15 Expander PCB and the other end to a circuit breaker. -

Installation Notes ! 1. The NMEA input ports are dedicated, i.e. port no. 1 is for GPS/Plotter data and port no. 2 for other data. Refer to the NMEA table on page 50 in the IS15 General Manual to identify which signals (GPS_Data and Nav_Data) and corresponding NMEA sentences that should be connected to TB5 (port 1). - Page 16 IS15 Expander Manual Figure 4-9 Simrad Robertson “X” series autopilot connection Note ! With a J300X Junction Unit in the autopilot system you may have redundancy and a higher heading output rate if you run a separate and direct NMEA interface between the chartplotter and the autopilot.
