2.4Electrical Connections

2.4.1 DC Power and External Speaker Connections

The 6-foot long power cable is a multi-purpose assembly containing three wire-pairs for connections to DC power, NMEA input, and an optional speaker. Connections to the 6-pin connector are as follows:

Wire Color	Function	Connects to
RED	Power +	Ship's 13.6 VDC power
BLACK	Power −
YELLOW	Speaker +	External speaker
GREEN	Speaker −
BLUE	NMEA +	Input from position source (GPS, etc.)
PURPLE	NMEA −

The RED (+) power wire contains a 10 amp in-line fuse.

In most cases the length of the power cable should be adequate enough to reach the DC power source. If additional wire length is required, the cable can be extended by adding more cable as necessary. However, for power cable runs longer than 15 feet, larger wire diameter size should be used to prevent voltage line loss.
