Wiring guidelines

Don't:
• Make sharp bends in the cables.
• Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the
connectors.
• Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high
current carrying cables or high frequency signal cables.
• Run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems.
• Run cables over sharp edges or burrs.
Do:
• Make drip and service loops.
• Use cable-ties on all cables to keep them secure.
• Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or
shortening the cables. Extending cables should be done with
suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink. Keep joins as
high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.
• Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and
unplugging of cables.
Warning:
Before starting the installation, be sure to
turn electrical power off. If power is left on or turned on
during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other
serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the
power supply is compatible with the unit.
Warning:
The positive supply wire (red) should
always be connected to (+) DC with a fuse or a circuit
breaker (closest available to fuse rating).
