Connecting the Wiring Harness to Power

1

Route the wiring harness to the power source and to the 

device.

2

Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and 

connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.

NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations

• The installation instructions provided with your NMEA 0183 

compatible device should contain the information you need to 

identify the transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) A (+) and B 

(-) wires.

• When the device is mounted in a location that prevents the 

internal antenna from acquiring a satellite signal, you can 

connect an external GPS19x antenna through a NMEA 0183 

connection. For more information, see the 

GPS 19x NMEA 

0183 Installation Instructions
