4. Connect the power/
LAN
cable to the cable assembly.
Follow these guidelines for laying the power/LAN cable
• The connectors must not strike any part of the vessel due to wind, etc.
• Do not apply any load to the connectors.
• If the cable is passed through a mast on a sailboat, be sure the cable does not
touch ropes (sheet, halyard, etc.).
• Do not let the cable touch the hull.
• The cable must be located where no tension is applied to the connectors. To
prevent tension, create a loop in the cable close to the sensor and tie the loop
with cable ties, as in the figure below.
• Wrap the junction of the connectors with self-vulcanizing tape for waterproofing.
• Fasten the cable to the mast, etc. at the neck of each connector with a cable tie.
• Make loops with surplus cable.
5. Connect the cable assembly to the power source and display unit.
Loop cable and tie loop with cable ties.
The minimum
bend diameter
is 80 mm.
Self-vulcanizing tape
1) Wrap the junction of the connectors
with one layer of self-vulcanizing
tape.
2) Change wrap direction and wrap
one layer of the self-vulcanizing
tape again.
