example). If possible, power the item up and offer the camera up in the
vicinity of the desired installation position to double check suitability.
Cabling:
The camera has a 30cm cable tail which has a 2.5mm DC Barrel Jack (female)
to connect power, bare stripped and tinned wires (colour coded red and black)
for the RS485 serial control data) and a 75
Ω
BNC (female) connector for the
video signal, therefore it will be almost inevitable that the power, data and video
cables will need to be extended. In a typical installation, the video cable will
need to be routed back to the monitor (or chart plotter), the data pair will need
to be routed back to the controller or RS485 Data Distributor in larger installa-
tions and the power pair will need to be routed back to the boats distribution
panel. See the illustration below:
