Lowrance electronic LCX-15CT, LCX-15CI manual Power Connections

Power Connections

This unit operates from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, connect the power cable to the in-line fuse holder and attach it directly to the battery. The power cable can be attached to an accessory or power buss, however there could be problems with electrical interference using this method. Therefore, it’s better from a noise standpoint to attach the power cable and fuse holder directly to a battery. If the cable is not long enough, splice 16-gauge wire onto it.

The power connector has two cables attached to it. One cable has the power and ground wires, the other is for the NMEA/DGPS interface. See below for NMEA/DGPS wiring instructions. The power cable has two wires - red and black. The black wire connects to the battery’s negative termi- nal. The red wire is the positive wire. Connect it to the fuse holder supplied with the unit. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the positive side of the battery. Make certain to attach the fuse holder directly to the bat- tery. This will protect the both cable and the unit in case there is a short circuit. Use a 6-amp fuse.
