Wiring (continued)
Mount the main power terminal block in a junction box or on a bulkhead adjacent to the feed pump module. Make sure that this is a dry location well above bilge level and not subject to wa- ter spray.
Route the control cable through the boat to the MPC display location. Be careful not to damage the connector or get it wet. Plug this into the back of the control.
Connect the red and black Boost Pump wires to the corresponding red and black conductors in the Boost Pump cable (red to red, black to black) using the supplied butt connectors, and heat the connectors to waterproof them.
Check the wire size chart to select the proper size power feed to the main power harness. DC power feeds should be uninterruptible to insure proper operation of the auto store feature. Avoid house breaker panels that could be easily tripped.
Component Sizing:
•12V Use a 30Amp breaker and size the wiring for 25 Amperes.
•24V use a 15 Amp breaker and size the wire for 13 Amperes.
•Provide circuit protection at the source! Inadequate wiring will cause a loss of system performance. DC power should be uninterruptible.
Note: If the specified circuit breaker sizes are unavailable use the next higher rating but do not exceed the specification by more then 10%. All wiring to be done to applicable ABYC, Marine UL or CE standards.
