¹Molex connector is designed to interface with a NexSens CB-A01-2 or CB-A05-x battery harness. If this
accessory was not ordered, connector can be cut off to wire to user-supplied components.
²The Red and Black flying lead wires are intended to supply power to user-supplied electronics.
Wiring Options
Solar Charged Battery [most commonly used]
If power to the buoy electronics is to be maintained by a solar-charged battery and the buoy was not
delivered with a CB-A05-x or CB-A01-2 battery harness, a solar regulator and battery must be sourced
locally.

The internal jumper inside the solar panel connector disconnects battery power from on-board
electronics when the solar panel plug is removed from the UW6-BULK port. This simplifies system
storage as the data well does not need to be opened to manually disconnect the battery.
Battery ONLY
If solar charging is not required for the application, a user may source a standalone battery to supply
power to on-board electronics. The following wiring will direct battery power to the Red and Black flying
lead wires of the UW6-BULK.
