8.4 Cable Runs

Consider the following before installing the system cables:

•You need to attach the power cable and the scanner cable. Additional cables will be required if you are installing an integrated system.

•All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and protected from exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.

•Acute bends must be avoided

•Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a water- tight feed-through should be used.

•Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the way.

You need to run the following cables:

•Power/NMEA Input cable, supplied with the display unit. This has a con- nector plug at one end for connecting the display unit, and 7 wires at the other end for connecting the power supply and optional NMEA inputs (see Section 8.8, Integrated Systems).

•Inter-unit cable, supplied with the scanner unit. This is Vinyl-covered and shielded, with a connector plug at one end for connecting to the display unit or extension cable.

•SeaTalk cable, optional, with SeaTalk connector(s) at one or both ends.

•hsb2 cable, required for multi-display systems.

•NMEA Output cable, optional, with an NMEA OUT connector at one end only.

Power Cable

The hsb2 series display system (i.e. with a scanner connected where applicable) is intended for use on ships’ DC power systems rated as follows:

12 V or 24 V systems	Radome Scanner System
12 V, 24 V or 32 V systems	4 kW Open Array Scanners System;
	RC530/631
24 V or 32 V systems	10 kW Open Array Scanners System

A 5 ft. (1.5 m) power cable is supplied for connecting the ship’s DC power to the display unit. Longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimise any voltage drop in the cable. The scanner type and the length and type of the inter-unit cable also affect the wire gauge required for the extension power cable. For further details on the master display power cable length refer to the Pathfinder Plus Radar Scanner Owner’s Handbook.
