3.1
Preparation

The only critical consideration in siting iKommunicate is if you are connecting it to an NMEA2000 network
(SeaTalkNG/Simnet). We supply an integral 1m NMEA2000 cable and ideally you should connect this directly to
a
spare “T Piece” on the NMEA2000 network’s “backbone”. You can purchase and fit a 3
rd party NMEA2000
extension cable, but the total drop cable length between iKommunicate and the “T piece” should be 5 meters or
less.

The supplied 1m network cable will need to be connected
to the boat’s wireless router or network switch. If you
need to fit a longer network cable, then we recommend that the cable is a shielded Cat6 SFTP network cable,
which are slightly more expensive than normal unshielded network cables, but are less prone to crosstalk and
electrical interference in the “noisy” confines of a modern boat’s nav station.
3.2 Mounting

iKommunicate has 4 x 4mm Diameter fixing holes. Use suitable fixings (not supplied) to fix the IKommunicate to a
flat surface
– using the dimensions and details shown in the drawing below. Note that the unit may be installed in
any orientation.

3.3 DC Power (12V or 24V)

Provide power connections to the unit from the boat’s supply. Power is connected to the iKommunicate via the
integral Power/Data cable. The Red wire is the positive (+) connection and the Black wire is the negative (-)
connection. Connect the wires to the nearest source of primary 12V or 24V DC power.
Ensure that the supply is
connected via a suitable 1A fuse or circuit breaker. Add the fuse in the positive power connection to the unit if
necessary.
