Power Connections
Use the 2 way terminal connector provided to
connect the unit to the ships supply. Ensure the
connector is wired as indicated in Fig. 3.
Note: If the alarm is active on Box 2 the Green LED indicator
on Box 1 will show an extended flash whenever a radar pulse is
detected. For correct indication, it is suggested to use the alarm
on Box 1 only.
When using an external alarm, the alarm should be wired to
Box 1, as shown in Figure 7.

RTE Connections
Use the 3 way terminal connector provided
to connect the unit to the active X-S antenna.
Ensure the connector is wired as indicated in
Fig. 4. If an X Band RTE is being wired just
connect the blue and brown wires.
External Alarm Connections
The unit has the ability to supply a switched signal for an external
alarm. This alarm will operate along with the internal audible alarm.
Use the 4 way terminal connector, provided, to connect the unit to
the external alarm. Ensure the connector is wired as indicated in Fig. 5.
The “EXT ALARM” connections are a switched relay.
The user must provide an external signal to be switched through
these relay connections.
To enable the external alarm the “EXT ALARM ENABLE”
connections must be linked together. It is suggested that this link
is made through a toggle switch to provide a means of disabling
the external alarm.
Note: disabling the internal audible alarm WILL NOT affect the ex-
ternal alarm.
