POWER CONNECTIONS - All units

This unit works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the best isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough to reach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however, you may have problems with electrical interference. Make certain to attach the in-line fuse holder to the positive lead as close to the battery or terminal strip as possible. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. Use a 3-amp fuse.

WARNING!

Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable! Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty!

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached correctly.
