Connecting the Power
(10 – 32Vdc)
1. Use a test light or a voltmeter to determine the
polarity of the voltage source.
2. Connect the red (+ or positive) wire to the positive
voltage terminal. (If you use the fuse block on the
boat, route the positive connection through the
fuse, as shown on the diagram.)
3. Connect the black (- or ground) wire to the
negative voltage terminal.
4. Install or check the 1 A fuse (in the in-line fuse
holder, or on the fuse block of the boat.
5. Use wire hoods suitable for the wire dimension
(20AWG, 0.75mm2) or connection point on the
fuse block.
Use an AGC / 3AG – 1 Amp replacement fuse.
If it is necessary to extend the power and ground
wires, use 20 AWG or thicker wire.
You can wire the Power Wires directly to the main
boat battery, or if your boat has an electrical
system, you might be able to wire the Power
Wires to an unused holder on the fuse block.
If your boat has an NMEA or NMEA2000 system
installed you can use this system as a power
supply for the WiMEA Boat Unit, if enough power
is available. Please make sure to check a relevant
source for information on power availability in
your NMEA system. NMEA website:

NOTICE
The maximum WiMEA Boat Unit input voltage is
32 Vdc. Do not exceed this voltage because this
can damage the WiMEA Boat Unit and void the
warranty.
