DC Power and NMEA Connection
The DS600X is intended for use on boat's DC power systems rated from 10-
18 Volts DC (13.8V nominal).
A 5 ft (1.5 m) cable is supplied for connecting the boat's DC power and
NMEA interface to the unit. This Power/NMEA cable can be extended by up
to 60 ft (20 m) using a wire gauge of AWG 12 or greater.
The cable's molded end attaches to the seven-pin Power/NMEA connector
on the unit's connector panel.
The cable connector (viewed from the outside) is shown in the following
drawing.
