The following sections detail the connectors used when installing the
DSM250.
DC Power Connection
The DSM250 is intended for use on ships’ DC power systems rated from 10.7
V to 32 V.
The power connection to the unit should be made at either the output of the
battery isolator switch or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine
recommends that power is fed directly to the DSM250 via its own dedicated
cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or 8A fuse
on the red (positive) wire, installed close to the power connection.
A 10 ft (3 m) power cable is supplied for connecting the ship’s DC power to the
unit. The power cable may be extended by up to 60 ft (20 m) using a wire
gauge of AWG 12 or greater.
DC power is connected at the three-pin
POWER
connector on the unit’s
connector panel. The connector (viewed from the outside) and pin functions
are shown in the following diagram and table.
