If a APS is not used, it is necessary to connect the power cable to the engine battery.

Do not use other power sources as switching suppliers (DC/DC, AC/DC), inverters, alternator shunts, portable
batteries, solar cells etc.
The ground wire must be directly connected to the engine negative ground bar.

NOTICE

It is possible that the negative ground bar is not used on the boat. In this case, the ground of the power cable
should be located on the ground common point, near the battery disconnecting devices.
