Fell WiMEA, Owner'S Manual

Page: 21 / 44

Multiple engine configuration
If you have several engines on your boat and your boat is already
fitted with a kill switch you can connect the wires as described above
to the two existing signal wires leading to the existing mechanical
switch in your helm or throttle. You may notice that the existing wires
consists of a splitter component on the wires. This splitter must not
be removed, as this splitter translates the signal from the single
mechanical kill switch into a kill switch signal for multiple engines.
You should connect the WiMEA Boat Unit wires above this splitter,
i.e. on the last two wires leading into the existing mechanical switch
installed in your helm.
NOTICE
If you have multiple engines and do not have an
existing kill switch, wires and a splitter must be
bought from your engine manufacturer or local
retailer. Please contact your local engine retailer or
manufacturer.

Installing WiMEA in a metal boat
If your helm is made out of conducting materials the wireless signals
from WiMEA may be degraded. The amount of signal degradation
experienced may vary from across boats and must be tested for each
case. If the signal is very poor you can install a separate external
antenna outside of your helm to increase the signal strength. Please
contact FELL support at www.fell.no/support for more information.
