Power And Data Layout - Garmin REACTOR 40 KICKER Installation Instructions Manual

Power and Data Layout

When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or
product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product
specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product
warranty.

Important Considerations
A dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilot packages. If you install the
autopilot without a dedicated helm control, the autopilot CCU must be connected to
the same NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter to configure and
®
control the autopilot system.
You should install this cable only if you are connecting the autopilot to optional
NMEA ® 0183 devices, such as a wind sensor, a water-speed sensor, or a GPS device
(NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations, page
You should install this cable only if you are building a NMEA 2000 network. Do not
install this cable if there is an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat.
You must connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to a 9 to 16 Vdc power source.
You must connect the helm control or compatible Garmin chartplotter and the CCU to
a NMEA 2000 network using the included T-connectors
Considerations, page 6).
If there is not an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, you can build one using
the supplied cables and connectors
Autopilot System, page 17).
You can mount the CCU in a non-submerged location near the center of the boat, in
any orientation (CCU Mounting and Connection Considerations, page
Mount the CCU away from sources of magnetic interference.
