Simrad ES60

ES60/C05 - AC power to computer

This normally a standard power cable, and it is provided with

the computer. Ensure that the computer is set up to match the

AC voltage you have available. Most computers will however

operate on 115 Vac, 230 Vac or both.
The

ES60 Marine Computer

is provided with a separate power

supply.

ES60/C06 - AC power to the display

This normally a standard power cable, and it is provided with

the display. Ensure that the display is set up to match the AC

voltage you have available. Most displays will however operate

on 115 Vac, 230 Vac or both.
