Power supply

The NMEA Multiplexer operates from a dc supply voltage in the
range 8 V to 30 V and provides protection against reversed
polarity. It is recommended to connect the NMEA Multiplexer to
the same power source or circuit breaker as the ships instruments
and/or computer.

Protect the power supply with a 0.5 A fuse. The wires used to
connect the power supply must be less than 50 m in length and
have a total cross-sectional area of at least 0.2 mm
