Cable Routing & Connecting Guidelines - Airmar PB200 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Cable Routing & Connecting Guidelines
Read the safety instructions below before going to the appropriate section for your
equipment.
CAUTION: To reduce electrical interference from other electrical wiring and any
on-board equipment with strong magnetic fields such as radar equipment, radio
transmitters, boat engines, generators, etc., separate the cables by at least 1m (3').
CAUTION: Do not remove the waterproof connector(s) to ease cable routing. If
the cable must be cut and spliced, use Airmar's splash-proof Junction Box No.
33-035 and follow the instructions supplied. Removing the waterproof connector
or cutting the cable, except when using a water-tight junction box, will void the
instrument's warranty.
CAUTION: Be careful not to tear the cable jackets when passing them through
bulkheads and other parts of the boat. Use grommets to prevent chaffing.
CAUTION: Use a multimeter to check the polarity and the connections to the
12VDC power supply before applying power to the instrument.
CAUTION: Coil any excess cable(s) and secure with cable ties to prevent
damage.
IMPORTANT: Make power connections to a 12 VDC power source that is isolated
from the engine start battery(s). Voltage drops may cause the instrument/
receiver/sensor to lose information and/or change operating mode.
