NMEA wiring Option (Explorer 438 only)

White Wire: Use this, if desired, to connect the fishfinder to other NMEA instruments such as Northstar’s Explorer R310. (See section 6-5 Systems of several instruments.)

Secondary alarm wiring option (Explorer 438 only)

Green Wire: Use this to connect a secondary alarm indicator such as a flashing light or external beeper with a built-in drive circuit. See the Auto power wiring diagram.

If the external beeper or light requires more than 200 mA total, fit a relay. Consult your Northstar dealer for more advice.

Fuel kit wiring (Explorer 438 only)

See the Fuel Kit Installation Guide for information about the fuel transducer cable.

Wire the power cable for Auto power (as described in this section) to make sure the fuel counter starts as soon as the engine starts.

For twin engine installation, a T-connector needs to be installed on the fuel transducer cable.

Auto power option

Black wire: Connect this to the negative battery terminal.

Red wire: Connect this to the positive battery terminal after the main switch. Fit a 1 Amp fuse as shown.

Yellow wire: To enable the engine hours counter and fuel counter; and to start the fishfinder automatically when the ignition is turned on, connect the yellow wire to the ignition system through a 1 Amp fuse.

Note: The fishfinder cannot be turned off while the ignition is on.

6-5 Systems of several instruments

Several Northstar instruments can be connected together to share data.

NMEA

NMEA is an industry standard for marine instrument connections. Data sent by one instrument over an NMEA line can be read and

displayed by another instrument that accepts NMEA 0183 Version 2. It requires dedicated connections between instruments.

Please contact your Northstar dealer for information on Northstar’s full range of NMEA enabled instruments and connection options.
