Power Connection
The Star Pilot requires i.r power source with a voltage level from l0
to I 6 VDC. Low voltage may cause a dim display. reduccd signal.
weak bccper and a slow tum on. High voltage may eventually result
in f ailure of some internal part. The nominal volta-ec found on most
properly operating tnarine power sy\tems is 13.6 VDC. It is
rccommended that you check the volta-ue supply which you intend to
operate for the proper level.
Connect thc two-pin plug on the end of the power supply cable to the
power supply jack located at the rear of the unit. Connect the red wire
to the positive terminal and thc black wire to the nc-qative tcnninal of
your boat's l2 VDC battcry, or the corresponding connections of the
rnain distribution panel. Avoid connecting directly to the sanle circuit
with any electronics which tend to draw a large amount of powcr.
such as bilge pumps, refrigerators and transmitting radios.
The power cord included with the Star Pilot includes an in-line fuse
holder with a 1.6 Amp fusc installed. Be certain when connecting the
power cord to the battery that the correct polarity is observed or the
l'use may blow and possible circuit damage may occur.
WARNIN(i: Never replace the Star Pilot's in-line fuse with a fuse
of a higher rating. Always replace with a fuse with a ratin-e between
I Amp. and 1.6 Arnp.
