Chapter 2: Installation

Connecting the Battery

The battery connection is for monitoring the voltage of your boat battery and it also provides power to the unit in the event of a power failure. The battery connects to the terminals labelled 12VDC.

If you have the Installation Kit, use the 2-conductor cable supplied. Otherwise, use a 2-conductor marine grade cable 16-22AWG. Attach the red wire to the positive (+) terminal on the Boat Remote and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. At the other end of the cable attach the red wire to the positive terminal on the battery and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Refer to Fig. 2.2.

Connecting the Telephone Line

Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the PHONELINE jack of the Boat Remote, and plug the other end into a modular wall jack. See Fig. 2.2.

Power Surge Protection

The Boat Remote can be damaged by power surges and lightning through the telephone line and the 120 VAC power supply. Although the unit has built-in surge protection, we recommend that additional protection be obtained for the unit and for any electronic equipment that is attached to your power supply and telephone lines. Power surge protection is especially important if your boat is in a lightning prone area. The ISOTEL Surge Protector Model IB-4 is available through Phonetics. See Accessory Appendix.

High Water Float Switch

The float switch is used to monitor for high water levels in the bilge. When choosing a location for the float switch, remember that it’s purpose is to alarm you when the water level has reached an unusually high or unacceptable level. Installing the float switch too low could cause frequent false alarms. We recommend the Rule model 33, this float switch will trip when the water level has reached 2 1/2" above the base of the switch. DO NOT connect the float switch to your bilge pump or battery. The float switch need only be connected to the Boat Remote to operate properly.
