Connecting the power cable
To connect the power cable
Do as follows to connect the power cable:
1.
Connect the red (+) and black (-) wires of the power cable to the ship’s 24 VDC supply
according to the recommendations in the previous sections.
2.
Connect the D-sub connector on the power cable to the DC input connector on the terminal.
If you need a
remote on/off
function, you may use one of the following options:
• Connect the Remote on/off wires in the power cable to a remote switch.
• Connect the ignition pins in the I/O connector to the ignition of your vessel. For further
information, see
Connecting to the ignition
on page 22.
For information on pin-out, see
DC power input
on page 26.
For specifications of the DC input on the terminal, see

150 FleetBroadband terminal
on
page 50.
Connecting to the ignition
The terminal has an ignition function. When this function is used, the terminal switches on/off
when you start/stop the engine of your vessel (provided both power switches on the terminal are
on).
Use the web interface to configure the ignition function according to your needs. In the web
interface, select
SETTINGS > Discrete I/O
. Select if the Ignition pin should be “Active high” or
“Active low” and set up a delay determining how long the terminal will stay on after switching the
ignition off. For further information on the web interface, see the user manual for the
SAILOR FleetBroadband system.
