VCM100 power connections
VCM100 power and grounding requirements.
The VCM100 is intended for use on ships’ DC power systems operating from 12 to 24 Volts DC.

• The battery isolator switch or DC distribution panel must be connected to the POWER IN terminals
of the VCM100.
• Do NOT connect additional power switches to the cable providing the power feed to the VCM100.
• All power connections between the VCM100 and the power source must have appropriate fuse
protection.
• All power connections must be of high quality to minimize resistance and to remove the risk
of accidental shorts.
• The VCM100 SCREEN terminals must be connected to your vessel's RF ground system.
• Do NOT connect the radar scanner or the VCM100 to a positively-grounded power system.
