2.4 Connecting the SIM100
The SIM100 requires two types of electrical connections: 1) the NMEA 2000® connection (refer to Section 2.4.1), and 2) the switch connections, which are described in Section 2.4.2.
2.4.1 NMEA 2000® Connection
The NMEA 2000® connector can be found on the side of the enclosure. The NMEA 2000® connector is a round five pin male connector (see Figure 2). You connect the SIM100 to an NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the SIM100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000® network in the same manner. The SIM100 is designed such that you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000® network while the power to the network is connected or disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000® network products.
