Choose the nipples directly above the parts of the 

connector you want to wire into and cut off the top 

section to the required diameter.

Pass the power and RS cables through the cradle 

and then through the hole in the respective nipple.

Bare the ends of the cables and wire into the 

correct section of the connector. 

Once you have wired the two connectors, firmly 

push them into their mating part in the main unit.

Slide the grommet down the cable until it is seated 

on the main housing. Make sure that there is a little 

excess cable beneath it, ensuring that the cable is 

not pulled tight.

Place the clamp over the grommet and screw down 

with the two screws supplied.

Make a small loop from the cables and cable tie 

them down to the tongue of the clamp.

2.4 SimNet/NMEA2000 cable (

supplied

)

The NAIS-00 is connected to the SimNet/NMEA000 

databus using the cable supplied. Pull the splash cover off 

of the SimNet/NMEA000 socket, ensure the connector on 

the end of the cable is in the correct orientation and press 

firmly into the socket.

SimNet (300-N model only)

With the supplied cable connected to the NAIS-00, 

connect the other end into the vessels SimNet network.
