Installation Method
For optimum performance and long term operation it is advisable to
connect to the vessels 12/24Vdc supply rather than relying on small
power cells. Connect the cable ends from the transducers and power
supply to the supplied connectors using the supplied screwdriver taking
care to ensure that all core colours are positioned correctly. It is advisable
to sheath the screens to prevent short circuit problems once the cover is
in place.
Insert the connectors into the appropriate sockets on the Hull Transmitter
and loop the single cores to allow the outer cable sheath to be secured in
the clamp when the cover is fitted.
Secure the cables close to the Hull Transmitter to reduce the possibility of
the connections becoming loose later.

Precautions
The NMEA Interface should be mounted in a dry area of the boat to
protect the cables and connectors from corrosion.
Cables should be supported close to the Hull Transmitter box to prevent
possible strain on the internal connectors.
All cables should be supported by clamps and ties close to the unit.
Positioning Advise
The NMEA Interface should be mounted such that the cables from the
transducers can be routed to it easily through the boat. Mounting the Hull
Transmitter close to the transducers will allow easy cable routing. Avoid
mounting on metallic surfaces or where there are metallic objects between
the Interface Box and other Micronet instruments.
Avoid bilge areas if possible to
protect the equipment and
connections
For optimum signal avoid mounting
the transmitter on a longitudinal
surface
