9.3Connect the radar communications cable (NS003107) to the junction box
The radar communications cable (NS003107) splits the 14 pin connector of the 6000i/6100i into (three) 3 different connectors, Bare Wires, Radar Comms and SmartCraft. This cable allows the 6000i/6100i to connect to NMEA devices (Bare Ends) or to Navico digital radar (Connector 1) or to a SmartCraft junction box (connector 2).
The output of the internal wires of the cable are in some cases duplicated, for example, pin 6 on the connector ends the white/brown bare end and the pin 1 of the radar comms connector. It is critical that the connector pins sharing multiple outputs such as pin 6 not be connected at the same time to different devices. i.e. If you are connecting a 6000i/6100i to the Navico radar processor box you must not connect any other device to the bare ends White/Brown, Brown/White, Yellow, Orange, Black, Orange/White and Drain.
The free ends of the radar communications cable (NS003107) must be terminated in a junction box or isolated from each other(see the figure in the previous section). The junction box is not supplied.
The communications cable has a 0.41" (10.5 mm) diameter. The junction box must be waterproof and large enough to contain a 20 way strip connector.
All cable entry points should use suitable grommets or glands to ensure that waterproofing is maintained.
The table shows the wiring and pin details of the radar communications cable. The naming convention for the
*DO NOT connect the bare wires if the radar comms (connector 1) is connected to the radar processor box
**DO NOT connect these bare wires if the SmartCraft (connector 2) is connected to the SmartCraft gateway
