Extending the power cable

The power cable may be extended up to a maximum length of 60 ft. (20m)

using a suitable AWG 12 multi stranded cable.

Note:

If the power connections are accidentally reversed the system will

not work. Raymarine recommends using a multi meter to ensure

that the power lead is connected with the correct polarity.

Grounding the system

Your boat’s power system should be either:

• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to

the boat’s ground, or

• Floating with neither battery terminal connected to the boat’s ground.

It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to your weather

system.

You must ground your weather system by connecting the Shield wire

(screen) of the power cable to the nearest ground point on your boat’s RF

system.
If you need to extend the wire, the extension wire should be an 8 mm braid

or AWG 10 multi strand cable.
If your boat does not have an RF system, connect the Shield wire (Screen)

to the negative battery terminal.
