Wiring Diagram "A"

Begin by stripping the wire ends of the device you're connecting to the Cuda
250. (You'll notice the Cuda 250 data cable comes pre-stripped, with wire
ends exposed.) Use a pair of wire pliers to strip about 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) of
insulation from each of the radio's or other device's data wires.

   

Strip the ends of the VHF radio's data wires. Connect them to the pre-

stripped wires of the Cuda 250 data cable (shown right).

Twist the exposed wires together as shown in the following figures. If
you're using a Uniden or similar radio, connect the radio's NMEA Wire
to the Cuda 250 data cable's yellow wire, and the radio's Ground/Shield
wire to the Cuda 250 data cable's black shield wire. If you're using
another radio brand or NMEA device, see Wiring Diagram B
instructions on page 4.
