GMR 400/600/1200 xHD Installation Instructions
Connecting the Radar to Power Through the Voltage Converter
Connect the radar power cable (red and black) to the voltage converter output cable (red and black) using the supplied heat-shrink crimp
connectors. After crimping the connections, heat the connectors to shrink the housing for a water resistant fit.
nOTICe:
If you choose to cut the radar power cable, you must reconnect the in-line fuse holder.
Connect the radar to the water ground of the vessel using an 8 gauge copper cable (not included). Secure the ground wire to the radar housing
using one of the four mounting studs, an M10 nut, and flat washer. Cover the ground-wire connection, mounting stud, and nut in marine sealant.
