Some wiring instructions are basic to the wiring of the
Cablemaster
regardless what model (CM-4, CM-7
or CM-8) you purchased.

, all wiring should be done in accordance with the instructions contained in the National Electrical Code. If there
is any uncertainty as to the proper methods of wiring, a qualified and competent electrician should do the wiring.
S
ECOND
, overcurrent protection (fuse or circuit breaker) must be provided in the power supply to the
Cablemaster.
On
12v DC systems, a 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used; on 24v DC systems, a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker
is required. In addition to providing electrical “overload” protection, a separate breaker for the
Cablemaster
allows the unit
to be turned “off” thus preventing the unauthorized use
of the unit when left unattended.
This is especially
IMPORTANT
if the switch is located where it can easily be
actuated by children.
Follow the instructions below for the specific model
you purchased:

POWER UNIT
is wired through a barrier
strip.
All electrical connections to the barrier strip have
been completed at the factory to make for easy instal-
lation. All that is required by the installer is to attach the
battery to the appropriate terminals on the barrier strip.
Using 12 gauge, stranded wire, the positive DC power supply is connected to the #5 terminal on the barrier strip and
the negative to the #6 terminal (see drawing right). Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the DC input wires.
Both the limit switches are designed to automatically stop the motor when the cable has reached its’ limit of travel. The
in-limit switch is located in the hawse pipe gasket ring and is covered by a neoprene cover to shield it from moisture. The
in-limit swithch, which is connected to the #1 and #2 terminals on the barrier strip, is activated when the plug cover touch-
es the switch.
The out-limit switch, which is connected to the #3 and #4 terminals of the barrier strip, is located in the guide roller
assembly mounted on the lower side of the power unit and is activated by a nylon safety collar secured near the terminal
end of the shore power cable. The collar, which acts as a positive mechanical “stop” as well as a means to activate the
out-limit switches, should be fitted around the shore power cable at a point that allows adequate slack in the cable for
unstrained AC electrical connections. If the shore power cable is being
directed through the vertical pipe extension, it is necessary to relocate the
guide roller assembly with the out-limit switch from the power unit to the
lower end of the vertical pipe and to reconnect the out-limit switch using the
appropriate lengths of wire.
(NOTE: Failure to install the nylon safety collar and rewire the out-limit
switch can result in damage to the shore power cable’s electrical con-
nection.)
The six conductor cable for the power switch is numerically marked to cor-
respond with the numbers on the barrier strip. For convenience and ease of
operation, the power switch should be mounted near the hawse pipe or in the appropriate hole with the optional bezel. In
each case, the power switch must be protected by the neoprene cover to prevent the intrusion of moisture.
