firmly sealed..

2.  Press the RJ-45 marine network cable to the RJ-45 socket. Tighten the RJ-45 locking ring 

clockwise until it is firmly sealed.

3.  Route the power and network cables through the front of the radar (Figure 7), or through a 

hole drilled through the mounting surface (Figure 8). Avoid excessively bending or twisting the 

cables.

4.  Install the hatch on the front of the radar.

Connecting the Radar to Power Through the Voltage Converter

Connect the radar power cable (red and black) to the voltage converter output cable (red and black) using the supplied heat-shrink crimp 

connectors. After crimping the connections, heat the connectors to shrink the housing for a water resistant fit.

 

nOTICe: 

If you choose to cut the radar power cable, you must reconnect the in-line fuse holder.

Connect the radar to the water ground of the vessel using an 8 gauge copper cable (not included). Secure the ground wire to the radar housing 

using one of the four mounting studs, an M10 nut, and flat washer.
