If a longer power cable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to the unit, then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the extension cable. The supplied power cable has a cross-section of 2.0mm2 (15 AWG).

Longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in the cable. In order to determine the correct supply cable size if the power cable must be extended, estimate the length of cable between the vessel’s main power source and the connector block, then select the wire size determined by the distance as indicated in Table 5-1.
