Implementation — connection to distribution panel Waterproof fuse holder with 5 A inline fuse must be fitted (not supplied). 2. SeaTalkng ® power cable. 3. RF Ground connection point for drain wire. • Ideally, the SeaTalkng ® power cable should be connected to a suitable breaker or switch on the vessel's distribution panel or factory-fitted power distribution point.
Page 37
Important: Observe the recommended fuse / breaker ratings provided in the product’s documentation, however be aware that the suitable fuse / breaker rating is dependent on the number of devices being connected. Implementation — direct connection to battery • SeaTalkng ®Where connection to a power distribution panel is not possible, the power cable may be connected to the vessel's battery..
• For power cable extensions, a minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.31 mm ) is recommended. For cable runs longer than 15 meters, you may need to consider a thicker wire gauge (e.g. 14 AWG (2.08 mm ), or 12 AWG (3.31 mm ) ).
Warning: Product grounding Before applying power to this product, ensure it has been correctly grounded, in accordance with the instructions provided. Warning: Positive ground systems Do not connect this unit to a system which has positive grounding. 4.4 Cable ferrite installation Your product is supplied with a suppression ferrite clamp.
