Determining an Installation Location
When you are selecting a location to install the GET 10 adapter, consider the following:
•
During installation, you connect the GET 10 adapter to the analog gauge (or directly to the
engine-tilt sensor), and to the NMEA 2000 network. Therefore:
◦
Choose a location that is within 173 in. (4.4 m) of the analog gauge (or the engine-tilt
sensor) to avoid splicing bare wires.
◦
Choose a location between the NMEA 2000 backbone and the analog gauge (or the
engine-tilt sensor).
◦
If you cannot connect the adapter directly to the NMEA 2000 network, add a drop cable.
See
page 3
for more information.
•
The adapter is IEC 60529 IPX7 waterproof, and can be submerged up to 30 minutes at
1 meter. Do not install the adapter in a location where it will be submerged regularly, though
the location can be subject to wash-down.
•
You can use cable ties (not included) to secure the adapter to an existing structure on your
boat.
•
You can use mounted-head cable ties (not included) and screws (not included) to secure the
adapter to a bulkhead or other suitable surface on your boat.
•
Install the adapter at least 2 in. (5 cm) from a magnetic compass to prevent electromagnetic
interference, which can cause inaccurate compass readings.
Wiring the GET 10
Connect the GET 10 adapter either to an analog gauge or to the sender directly using the bare
wires on the wiring harness.
Wiring the GET 10 Adapter to an Analog Gauge
If your boat has an analog gauge representing engine tilt, you can wire the GET 10 adapter
directly to the gauge. Consult the owner's manual provided by your boat or sensor manufacturer
to determine the ground, sensor, and power (ignition) connections on the gauge. Typically,
the power (ignition) connector is labeled with a "+", a "+12V", an "I", or an "IGN" marking.
The ground connector is typically labeled with a "-", a " ", or a "G" marking, and the sensor
connector is typically labeled with an "S" or a "G" marking. Do not remove any wires from the
back of the gauge, and wire the GET 10 adapter to the gauge using the following table.
Wiring the GET 10 Adapter Directly to an Engine-Tilt Sensor
If your boat does not have an analog gauge representing engine tilt, you can wire the adapter
directly to the sensor. All outboard and inboard/outboard motors that feature trim control should
have either a terminal or a wire allowing access to the engine-tilt sensor. Consult the owner's
manual provided by your boat or sensor manufacturer to determine the type of sensor (resistive
or generic voltage) in use, and the sending and ground terminals on the sensor. Typically, the
sending terminal is labeled with an "S" marking for sensor or a "G" marking for gauge, and the
ground terminal is typically labeled with a negative sign (-). Wire the GET 10 adapter to the
sensor according to the following table.
