Cable Routing & Connecting Guidelines
Depending on the equipment you will be using, route the sensor cable to an
Airmar Data Converter, Combiner, an NMEA 0183 display, an NMEA 2000
network, a laptop, or other device. After reading the cautions below, go to the
appropriate instructions.
CAUTION: Do not remove the waterproof connector(s) to ease cable routing. Buy
a cable without a connector. Instructions for wiring are supplied.
CAUTION: To reduce electrical interference from other electrical wiring and any
on-board equipment with a strong magnetic field such as radar equipment, radio
transmitters, engines, generators, etc., separate the cables by at least 1m (3').
Ensure that all the cables shields are appropriately grounded.
CAUTION: Be careful not to tear the cable jackets when passing them through
compartments, bulkheads, or walls. Use grommets to prevent chaffing.
CAUTION: Use a multimeter to check the polarity and the connections to the
power supply before applying power to the sensor.
CAUTION: Coil any excess cable(s) and secure with cable ties to prevent damage.
Connecting to a Data Converter, Combiner, or Splitter
