Garmin NMEA 2000 Transducer Adapter Kit Installation Instructions Manual page 5

To install the included water-resistant connectors:
1. Insert two matching wires into an included
connector.
2. Use a standard pair of pliers to fully depress the
red button into the connector.
3. Wipe the excess water-repellent gel from the
connector.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 for the remaining two sets of
wires.
Connecting the NMEA 2000 Transducer Adapter Kit to a
NMEA 2000 Network
Connect the NMEA 2000 Transducer Adapter Kit to your existing NMEA 2000 network using
the supplied drop cable and T-connector. If you do not have a NMEA 2000 network installed
on your boat, you will need the appropriate NMEA 2000 cables and connectors to build one.
Contact your local Garmin dealer.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, read the "NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter
of the Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products. The document is located on the
Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/us/onthewater/nmea2000.
Connecting and Securing the Cables
If you have not done so already, connect the NMEA 2000 transducer adapter cable to the
connector in the center of the NMEA 2000 transducer adapter. Connect the NMEA 2000 drop
cable to the connector on the edge of the adapter. See the layout diagram on
To help make the cable-routing process easier, the locking ring is packaged separately from the
adapter cable.
To install the locking ring on the adapter cable:
1. Route the adapter cable away from sources of
electronic interference so that the cable connector is at
the mounting location of the adapter
2. Separate the two halves of the locking ring.
3. Align the two halves of the locking ring over the
connector on the adapter cable and snap them together.
4. Insert the O-ring into the end of the assembled
connector.
Securing the Adapter Cable
To ensure a lasting connection to the installed transducer,
use cable ties (not included) to secure the adapter cable
either to the tie-down point on the mounting bracket or
to the structure of the boat. You can also use mounted-
head cable ties (not included) and screws (not included)
to secure the adapter cable to a bulkhead or other suitable
surface on your boat.
