You will need to connect a power cable from the
antenna to the vessels 100-240 VAC power
supply. The cable must be an above deck,
marine-grade, 3-conductor, stranded
(flexible,
bend radius of at least 3" (8 cm))
power cable
suitable for carrying 500 watts AC power to the
antenna with less than a 5% voltage drop across
its length. Refer to Figure 14 for the suggested
cable gauge for your cable run.
Follow these steps to attach the supplied AC
power connector to the end of your power cable.
This female connector mates with the male
connector at the antenna.
a.
Pass the end of the power cable through the
connectors nut and housing as shown in
Figure 15.
b.
Strip the jacket from the end of the power
cable 7/8" (22.2 mm). Then strip back the
insulation of all three wires between 1/4"
(6 mm) and 5/16" (8 mm).
c.
Connect the wires to the connector as shown
in Figure 15.
d.
Slide the housing over the connector and
snap it into place.
e.
Tighten the nut onto the end of the housing.
Tighten to approximately 3 ft-lbs (4 N-m) of
torque.
