Implementation — direct connection to battery
• Where connection to a power distribution panel is not possible, the power
cable supplied with your product may be connected directly to the vessel's
battery, via a suitably rated fuse or breaker.
• The power cable supplied with your product may NOT include a separate
drain wire. If this is the case, only the power cable’s red and black wires
need to be connected.
• If the power cable is NOT supplied with a fitted inline fuse, you MUST fit
a suitably rated fuse or breaker between the red wire and the battery’s
positive terminal.
• Refer to the inline fuse ratings provided in the product’s documentation.
• If you need to extend the length of the power cable supplied with your
product, ensure you observe the dedicated
Power cable extensions
advice
provided in the product’s documentation.
