POWER CONNECTIONS

It is recommended the installation of a switch and a 5A fuse (not supplied) in the positive
DC supply to the FF520. The FF520 is designed to remain in stand-by even when the power
of the GPS chartplotter is turned off, this is the need for a switch so the vessels battery will
not be drained..
In the example below you will notice the positive DC power connection is run through a
switch and a fuse before connecting it to the FF520 and the GPS chartplotters.

GPS CHARTPLOTTERS SOFTWARE UPDATE

Inside the box containing the FF520 you will find 3 software upgrade CARDs. These CARDs
are used to update the software in the GPS chartplotters to be compatible with the FF520
and will load the MAX cartography operating system from C-Map. Please note that NT
cartography cards still can be used, but to use all the MAX features a MAX cartography card
will have to be purchased.
