Power Node

To install a power node:

1.Connect the black (ground) wire to a ground.

2.Connect the Red (positive) wire to a switched 12-volt power source.

3.Plug the black power node connector into the bottom of a T connector on your NMEA 2000 network.

Adding Devices, a Network Node or Extension Cable

NMEA 2000 devices are added to a network by connecting the device to the bottom of a T connector. When adding additional devices to the network each device MUST have its own T connector on the network backbone.

You can add a node or extension cable to any existing connection, anywhere along the network backbone as long as each end of the backbone ends with a terminator.

In this example, a power node is added to the network by installing a T connector between a T connector and a terminator. An extension cable connects these T connectors to T connectors in a different part of the boat.
