Powering the LSS-1
The LSS-1 power cable has four wires; red (+), black (–), yellow and blue. The
red wire is the positive and the black wire is the ground. The yellow wire can be
connected to an open accessory switch at the boat’s console, to the yellow wire on
your HDS power cable, or directly to the battery.
The blue wire will not be used. Cut
it flush and cover the end with a wire nut or electrical tape.
If you connect the yellow wire to the yellow wire on your HDS unit, StructureScan
will be turned on/off when the HDS unit is turned on/off. Refer to the Power/Data
cable wiring diagram in your HDS Installation manual for more information.
Connecting LSS-1 to display unit/ethernet network
The LSS-1 has three ethernet ports allowing you to connect it to up to three HDS
units. It can also be connected to an ethernet hub, like the NEP -1.
The LSS-1 comes with a 15 feet ethernet cable, but cable lengths of 6, 15, 25 and 50
feet may be purchased separately.
