Implementation — connection to distribution panel
• Alternatively, the unit’s power connection may be connected to a suitable breaker or switch on the
vessel's power distribution panel, or factory-fitted power distribution point.
• The distribution point should be fed from the vessel’s primary power source by 8AWG (8.36mm 2 )
cable.
• The unit also requires a separate RF Ground (drain) connection, refer to the following section:
Grounding — Dedicated drain wire required
.
• Ideally, all equipment should be wired to individual suitably-rated thermal breakers or fuses, with
appropriate circuit protection. Where this is not possible and more than 1 item of equipment shares
a breaker, use individual in-line fuses for each power circuit to provide the necessary protection.
• In all cases, observe the recommended breaker ratings provided in the following table.
Thermal breaker ratings — connection via distribution panel
ACU Thermal breaker rating
ACU-100 10 A
ACU-150 15 A
ACU-200 20 A
ACU-300
15 A
ACU-400 40 A
Important:
Be aware that the suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker or fuse is dependent on the number
of devices you are connecting.
Grounding
Ensure that you observe the dedicated grounding advice provided.
