Electrical connections
Heater has to be connected up electrically according to the EMC-directives.
Safety instructions for wiring the heater:
Make sure that electrical cables are not damaged. Avoid: chafing, kinking, jamming or exposure to heat.
Electrical connections and ground connections must be free of corrosion and firmly connected.
In waterproof connectors seal any connector chambers not in use with filler plugs to ensure they are waterproof
Things to note about the connections
All connections must be arranged in the craft so that they can function perfectly under normal operating conditions.
Insulate unused cable ends.
The device uses 12 V (nominal) direct current voltage. To minimize current losses, make the power cable as short as
possible and avoid joining. The cross-sectional area of the cable is dependent on the length of the power cord. The
cross-sectional area of the cable must be consistent all the way from the stove to the battery. The maximum length of
the power cord is 10 m, based on 6 AWG cable.
The cross-sectional area of the cable
Total length of the power cord (m)
Cross-sectional area of the cable in square mm
(US Gauge)
0-4 4 (11 or 10 AWG)
4-6 6 (9 or 8 AWG)
6-10 10 (7 or 6 AWG)
If a thicker cable is required, make a separate joint in the power cord. See picture on the next page.
