2.4 Electrical Connections
2.4.1 DC Power and External Speaker
Connections
The 6-foot long power cable is a multi-purpose assembly containing three
wire-pairs for connections to DC power, NMEA input, and an optional
speaker. Connections to the 6-pin connector are as follows:
Figure 2-3 Power/External Speaker/NMEA Cable and 6 Pin Connector
In most cases the length of the power cable should be adequate enough to
reach the DC power source. If additional wire length is required, the cable
can be extended by adding more cable as necessary. However, for power
cable runs longer than 15 feet, larger wire diameter size should be used to
prevent voltage line loss.
Your RAY215E should be connected to the nearest primary source of ship's
DC power. A typical source may be a circuit breaker on the power panel or a
fuse block near the unit. When connecting to either of these sources, the
circuit breaker or other in-line fuse should be rated at 10 amps.
