iGC Electrical Installation

7.4.1

Preparation

All electrical connections to the iGC are via a single Subconn 8-pin micro series connector.   This 
connector is a Male on the iGC (MCBH8MSS) and therefore a female is required on the interface cable 
(MCIL8F or equivalent).

The connector should be made up in accordance with Subconn guidelines, as detailed below (taken  
from MacArtney Subconn standard literature):

The connector should not be exposed to long-term heat or sunshine.  If this occurs, and the  
connectors are very dry, soak in fresh water before use.

Ensure the connectors are lubricated - the recommended lubricant is Molykote 44 Medium -but  
use sparingly. Half a match head dose per contact is adequate.

Any accumulation of sand or mud in the female contact should be removed with fresh water.  
Failure to do so could result in the splaying of the female contact and damage to the O-ring  
seals.

Do not overtighten the bulkhead nuts.

Do not disconnect by pulling on the cable and avoid sharp bends at cable entry.

When using bulkhead connectors see that there are no angular loads as this destroys the  
connector.

When disconnecting, pull straight, not at an angle. Ensure the above points are fulfilled to get  
the best out of your connectors. If in doubt, please contact your local distributor or MacArtney  
A/S for advice.

The mated connector should be retained using the Delrin locking sleeve supplied with the iGC.  This 
ensures that the connector does not become inadvertently partially or fully disconnected.

The iGC requires electric power at 24v DC nominal supply, operating current typically between 220mA 
and 250mA.  The iGC will however function correctly at any voltage in the range 12v DC to 26v DC.  
The power supply should be from a regulated and smooth (low ripple) power supply for best results. 
An unregulated or un-smoothed supply should not be used.

The following drawing details the pin-outs of the iGC:
