Section 3: Electrical Installation
* Power should be denied when
making all electrical connections.
Only apply power when all wire
connections have been doubled
checked for proper setup.
This section closely describes how to
power the essential components of the
system for both AC and DC installations. It
also shows how to hook up the Ring and Tip
communication wires between the Marine
Magellan Head unit and the Artion GSM
module. A basic final wiring setup for the
typical AC and DC installations can be
referenced on Appendage 1 and Appendage
2 respectively.
AC power setup
Marine Magellan
The AC plug in transformer supplies
voltage to both the Marine Magellan
Console and the battery backup supply.
The 110 VAC supply to the outlet should be
on its own breaker. If the installer must tap
into an existing outlet to get power, make
sure that the existing breaker is properly
current rated for the additional outlet. In
either case, the AC breaker must be left on
while away from boat.
Connect the two conductor wire to the
“ AC ” inputs of the Marine Magellan. On the
other end, connect the two wires to the
output screw terminals on the AC
transformer (Diagram 6). It is suggested
that you crimp on spade connectors to the
wire for a secure connection to the
transformer. Since the voltage source is
AC, the two connections are
interchangeable between the two inputs.
Battery Backup
The external battery backup case has
been designed to supply a constant 12 VDC
to the Artion GSM module. It simply takes
the 16 VAC input from the transformer,
inverts it to 12 VDC, and charges the
backup battery (Diagram 7). This device is
only used during AC installations.
