5. Waterproof fuse holder with 8 A fuse must be fitted
6. Positive (Red) wire connects to power supply positive (+) terminal.
In-line fuse and thermal breaker ratings
The following in-line fuse and thermal breaker ratings apply to your product:
In-line fuse rating
Thermal breaker rating
8 A
8 A
Note:
• The suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker is dependent on the
number of devices you are connecting. If in doubt consult an authorized
Raymarine dealer.
• Your product’s power cable may have an in-line fuse fitted, if not then
you must add an in-line fuse / breaker to the positive wire of your
product’s power connection.
Caution: Power supply protection
When installing this product ensure the power source is
adequately protected by means of a suitably-rated fuse or
thermal circuit breaker.
Power distribution
Recommendations and best practice.
• The product is supplied with a power cable, either as a separate item or a
captive cable permanently attached to the product. Only use the power
cable supplied with the product. Do NOT use a power cable designed for,
or supplied with, a different product.
• Refer to the
Power connection
section for more information on how to
identify the wires in your product’s power cable, and where to connect
them.
• See below for more information on implementation for some common
power distribution scenarios:
Important:
• When planning and wiring, take into consideration other products in
your system, some of which (e.g. sonar modules) may place large power
demand peaks on the vessel’s electrical system, which may impact the
voltage available to other products during the peaks.
• The information provided below is for guidance only, to help protect
your product. It covers common vessel power arrangements, but does
NOT cover every scenario. If you are unsure how to provide the correct
level of protection, please consult an authorized dealer or a suitably
qualified professional marine electrician.
Implementation — connection to distribution panel (Recommended)
1
Waterproof fuse holder containing a suitably-rated inline
fuse must be fitted. For suitable fuse rating, refer to:
In-line
fuse and thermal breaker ratings
.
2
Product power cable.
3
Drain wire connection point.
• It is recommended that the supplied power cable is connected to a suitable
breaker or switch on the vessel's distribution panel or factory-fitted power
distribution point.
• The distribution point should be fed from the vessel’s primary power
source by 8 AWG (8.36 mm
2
) cable.
• 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.
