CABLE AND CONNECTION INFORMATION
EMC COMPLIANCE
B&G equipment is designed to be operated in leisure craft. Every care
has been taken in its design and testing to ensure compliance with the
European EMC Directive, provided it is installed and operated in
accordance with the instructions as supplied, and the units and cables
are used unmodified. Specific attention is drawn to the requirements to
maintain cable separation, where stated.
Transmissions from poorly installed or maintained Single Sideband
equipment may adversely affect the functioning of this equipment. On
vessels fitted with SSB, it is essential that such equipment is installed
following good installation practice and as recommended by the
manufacturer.
GENERAL WIRING NOTES
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE PILOT
SYSTEM UNTIL ALL UNITS ARE CONNECTED AND THE WIRING
HAS BEEN CHECKED.
• Where spade connectors are supplied always use the correct
crimping tool to attach them to the cable. This is extremely important
where high currents are to be passed i.e. rudder drive unit supply
cables.
• Keep supply cables as short as possible to reduce the possibility of a
voltage drop in the cables.
• Always fit a fuse or circuit breaker in supply cables. A 25Amp MCB is
recommended for the heavy duty power cables.
• Clearly identify each cable to prevent incorrect connection.
• Cables that have a screening braid must have the screen connected
as shown on the connection diagrams. The method for connecting
screened cables may vary according to model and are shown in
detail on the accompanying installation sheet: IS-0777.
