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).
CAUTION:
Do not pull the cable through the bulkheads using a cord attached to the
connector. This could damage the connections.
•
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.
•

cable, required for multi-display systems.
•
NMEA Output cable, optional, with an NMEA OUT connector at one
end only.
