15 A fuse holder
Red (+)
Black (-)
To the boat battery (10 to 32 Vdc)
30 A fuse holder
Water ground connection
1 Route the power cable to the radar and the voltage converter.
2 Use crimp connectors and heat-shrink tubing to connect the power cable to
the voltage converter.
The radar power cable contains a 15 A fuse which should not be removed
when connecting to the voltage converter.
3
Connect the voltage converter to the boat battery through the included
30 A fuse.
The 30 A fuse between the voltage converter and battery is in addition to
the 15 A fuse included in the radar power cable. Both fuses must be in
place for the radar to function properly.
4
Connect the power cable to the POWER port on the radar.

Connecting to Power

WARNING
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To
prevent the possibility of injury or product damage caused by fire or
overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product
specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.

Grounding the Radar
The radar must be connected to the appropriate type of ground using
3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire (not included).
1
Route a 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to a water ground location and to
the radar pedestal.
2
Connect the wire to the ground connector ( ) on the pedestal using the
pre-installed crimp connector .
3
Coat the ground screw and crimp connector with marine sealant.
4
Connect the other end of the wire to the water ground location on the boat,
and coat the connection with marine sealant.
5
Select an option:
• If your radar was not packaged with a voltage converter, no further
grounding is necessary.
• If your radar was packaged with a voltage converter, proceed to the
next step.
6
Route a different 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to water ground location
and to the voltage converter.
7
Loosen a screw on one corner of the voltage converter, and secure the
copper wire to the screw.
8 Coat the screw and wire on the voltage converter with marine sealant.
9 Connect the other end of the wire to the water ground location on the boat,
and coat the connection with marine sealant.
Garmin Marine Network Considerations
This device connects to Garmin Marine Network devices to share radar data
with compatible devices on the network. When connecting to a Garmin Marine
Network device, observe these considerations.
• A Garmin Marine Network cable must be used for all Garmin Marine
Network connections.
◦ You cannot cut a Garmin Marine Network cable. You must use a longer
cable or add extensions where necessary.
◦ Garmin Marine Network cables and extension cables are available from
your Garmin dealer.
• If necessary, you may need to use a Garmin Marine Network adapter cable
to connect this device to your chartplotter or GMS
expander.
Connecting a Garmin Marine Network Cable
1
Route one end of the Garmin Marine Network cable to the radar.
NOTE: The included Garmin Marine Network cable uses a 90-degree
connector to connect to the NETWORK port on the radar housing so that it
fits correctly behind the radar door. If you do not plan to install the door on
the radar housing, you can purchase a Garmin Marine Network cable with
a straight connector from your Garmin dealer.
2
Connect the cable to the NETWORK port on the radar.
