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

backboneto“balance”thevoltagedropofthenetwork.Useapower

cable without termination.

¼ Note: When joining an NMEA 2000 network to a SimNet network, it

is not necessary to introduce power to both.

¼ Note: Do not connect the power cable to the same terminals as the

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

devices-thenetworkmaybeaectedbyvoltagedropwhenthese

devices are operated. Avoid connection to the engine starting

batteries where possible.

Daisy chaining the Triton display

Where displays are located close together, the supplied right angle
