Power the network

An NMEA 2000 network requires its own 12 V DC power supply 

protected by a 5 amp fuse or breaker. 

In smaller NMEA 2000 systems, the power connection may be made 

anywhere in the system, 

For larger systems introduce power at a central point in the 

backboneto“balance”thevoltagedropofthenetwork.Useapower

cable without termination. 

¼

Note: 

When joining an NMEA 2000 network to a SimNet network, it 

is not necessary to introduce power to both.

Note: 

Do not connect the power cable to the same terminals as the 

autopilot computer, pulse radar, bow thruster or other high current 

devices-thenetworkmaybeaffectedbyvoltagedropwhenthese

devices are operated. Avoid connection to the engine starting 

batteries where possible.
