Vessel power supply requirement
Connect to the ship's power source, ideally an uninterrupted power supply (UPS),
through a 2-pole switched fused supply to allow isolation for servicing. Power
requirement is typical 24 V DC (2 A minimum) or 12 V DC (4 A minimum). Required
conductor area, cable length 0-10 m is 1.5 mm2 ø minimum.
M6 will turn on and start operating as soon as the DC power is applied.
Use the remote isolation switch if it's required to turn off the M6.
Note: The Class A power supply requirement should comply with IMO guidelines for
the class of vessel concerned. National authorities and classification societies may
have their own power supply requirements; these should also be considered.
Note: Some boats require frame ground connection of all electronic devices on the
ship frame.
