POWER CONNECTIONS
The X-45 works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run
the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away
from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the best
isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough to
reach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. If you do extend the
power cable, make certain to attach the in-line fuse holder supplied with the
X-45 to the battery or power source. This will protect both the unit and the
power cable in the event of a short. Use only a 3-amp fuse.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!
Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty!
You can also attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss,
however, you may have problems with electrical interference.
This units has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the
power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires
are attached correctly.
If you've purchased a speed/temperature sensor, install it according to the
instructions enclosed with it. Route its cable to the connector on the X-45's
power cable. The X-45 is now ready for use.
