4.2 Grounding the units
Make sure you have a suitable grounding location for grounding the units,
preferably close to the power supply. See
Grounding availability on page 15.
4.2.1 SAILOR 3027 GMDSS Terminal
You may use a special CAN cable, containing only the power wires and shield,
to connect to the power supply. Using a T-connector, this cable can be
connected to the full CAN bus (and thus to the SAILOR 3027 terminal).
On the SAILOR 6081 PSU and Charger, connect the following wires from the
CAN cable:
Important
The shield of the CAN cable from the terminal must be
grounded through the power supply,
not
at the terminal. This is
to ensure that any lightning strike at the terminal will be
directed straight to the ship ground, and away from equipment
operated by personnel.
