Cable Routing & Connecting
Depending on the equipment you will be using, route the WeatherStation cable to
a Converter, Combiner, Splitter, an NMEA 0183 display, or an NMEA 2000
network. After reading the cautions below, go to the appropriate instructions.
CAUTION: Do not remove the waterproof connector(s) to ease cable routing.
Buy a cable without a connector. Instructions for wiring are supplied.
CAUTION: To reduce electrical interference from other electrical wiring and any
on-board equipment with strong magnetic fields such as: radar equipment, radio
transmitters, engines, generators, etc., separate the cables by at least 1m (3').
Ensure that all the cable shields are appropriately grounded.
CAUTION: Be careful not to tear the cable jackets when passing them through
compartments, bulkheads, or walls. Use grommets to prevent chaffing.
CAUTION: Use a multimeter to check the polarity and the connections to the
power supply before applying power to the WeatherStation Instrument.
CAUTION: Coil any excess cable(s) and secure it with cable ties to prevent
damage.
CAUTION: Heater model with cable run greater than 20m (60')—The power to
the heater is affected by the total length of the cable run. If the cable run is greater
than 20m (60'), additional hardware is needed to ensure that enough power will
reach the heater to function properly.
• PC—Connect through a Data Converter or Combiner. Follow the instructions
that are supplied with the hardware.
• NMEA0183 display—Follow the instruction, “Connecting to an NMEA0183
Display.”
Connecting to a Data Converter, Combiner, or Splitter
IMPORTANT: To connect to a PC it is necessary to install a Data Converter or Combiner.
Follow the installation instructions that are supplied with the unit.
Connecting to an NMEA 0183 Display
Cable Routing
Route the WeatherStation cable to the display. Do not fasten the cable in place at
this time.
Heater model with cable run greater than 20m (60')—Route the WeatherStation
cable to a junction box (see Figure 6). Route a separate cable from the junction box
to the NMEA display. Route red and black 14AWG wires from the junction box to a
24VDC power supply. Do not fasten the cables and wires in place at this time.
