The sensor cable connects to the display unit screw terminal block or an
expanded system NAV6
hub unit.

The direction to route the cable is from ‘sensor’ to ‘display’
• Leave a service loop in the cable, close to the sensor location
(under the deck is a good place) that will allow the sensor cable to
be pulled back and a connection made should the sensor ever need
to be removed for service
•
Strap the cable at regular intervals to stop any vibration, taking care
to avoid potential tripping hazards
• Avoid bending the cable through tight radii of less than 4cm
•
Where the cable passes through tubes, bulkheads or decking, use
rubber grommets or glands to prevent chaffing
A waterproof deck gland ( ICS part number 2520.08 ) is recommended
for the sensor cable when passing it through a fibreglass or wooden
deck surface.
