2.3 Mounting the NBE100
Attach the NBE100 securely to the vessel using the included stainless steel mounting screws
or other fasteners as shown in Figure 1 below. Do not use threadlocking compounds
containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of
the plastic enclosure.

2.4 Connecting the NBE100
The NBE100 requires one type of electrical connection: the NMEA 2000
®
connections (refer to
Section 2.4.1).
2.4.1 NMEA 2000
®
Connection
The NBE100 has two NMEA 2000
®
connectors. The NMEA 2000
®
connectors can be found on
either end of the enclosure.
The NMEA 2000
®
connectors are round five pin male connector (see Figure 2). You connect
the NBE100 to an NMEA 2000
®
network using a Maretron NMEA 2000
®
cable (or compatible
cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the NBE100 (note the key on the male
connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and
that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable
(male) to the NMEA 2000
®
network in the same manner. The NBE100 is designed such that
you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000
®
network while the power to the network is
connected or disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000
®
network products.
