2.4 Connecting the SSC300
You have a choice of connecting the SSC300 to a NMEA 2000
®
interface (Section 2.4.1), NMEA
0183 interface (Section 2.4.2), or connecting both interfaces simultaneously (Section 2.4.2.2).
The SSC300 has two connection ports. Please use the M000102 Micro Cap which is shipped
installed on the NMEA 0183 connector to cover unused connectors.

2.4.1 Connecting to NMEA 2000
®
Interface
The Maretron SSC300 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000
®
interface through a five pin
male connector (Figure 4). You connect the SSC300 to an NMEA 2000
®
network using a
Maretron NMEA 2000
®
cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to
the SSC300 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector) as shown
in Figure 5 below.. Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable
connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000
®
network in the same manner. The SSC300 is designed such that you can plug or unplug it from
an NMEA 2000
®
network while the power to the network is connected or disconnected. Please
follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000
®
network products.
