Connecting the WiMEA Signal wires
Before connecting the Boat Unit Signal wires,
you must test which kill switch principle is used
by your engine manufacturer.
The engine signal wires on WiMEA Boat Unit consists of three
wires. Only two of the three wires are used to connect to the
existing kill switch wires in your boat. Below are instructions on
how to test which of the Boat Unit signal wires to use and how to
connect them to the existing wires in your boat.
Overview of the Boat Unit signal wires (see picture on page 21 for
overview of the signal wires):
1.
Common – Grey – Always used when
connecting the WiMEA Boat Unit Signal wires.
2.
Open to stop (OS) – Blue – Used when your
existing system is a Open to stop kill switch
system.
3.
Close to stop (CS) – Orange – Used when your
existing system is a Close to stop kill switch
system.
NOTICE
The engine kill switch system principle varies across
different engine manufacturers, and
different year of model, being Open to stop or
Close to stop principle. Some existing kill switches
has three wires, you still only need to connect
two as described in this manual. The principle in
the existing mechanical kill switch is the same as
the Boat Unit Signal wires, where the three wires
makes the existing kill switch compatible with both
Open to stop and Close to stop kill switch systems.
