1. Turn off the power for the control head and each accessory.
WARNING! Turn off power for all related equipment before you start the installation.
2. Connect a Data-T connector to the Power-T connector. Hand-tighten the screw nut to secure the connection.
3. Plug the male end of the drop cable to the bottom of the Data-T connector. Plug the female end of the drop cable to the NMEA 2000 device.
Only NMEA 2000 devices/sensors should be connected to the bottom of the Data-T or drop cable. The connectors at the top of the
Data-T are used to connect to the Power-T, other Data-T connectors, backbone extension cables and network terminators.
4. Optional: Plug in additional Data-T connectors and drop cables to your network.
5. Connect a network terminator at each end of your network backbone.
