Cable Routing & Connecting
Depending on the equipment you will be using, route the WeatherStation cable to
an Airmar Converter, Combiner, or Splitter; an NMEA 0183 display or an NMEA
2000 network. After reading the cautions below, go to the appropriate instructions.
WARNING: The power supply must be OFF before making electrical connections.
WARNING: The power supply voltage must be that specified for the model.
300WXR 9 - 40 VDC
300WX 9 - 40 VDC
200WX 9 - 40 VDC
150WX 9 - 40 VDC
110WX 9 - 40 VDC
100WX 9 - 40 VDC
Models with heater 24VDC only
WARNING: A safe installation requires a 0.5 amp fast-blow fuse or circuit breaker.
Except, models with a heater require a 3 amp fast-blow fuse or circuit breaker.
WARNING: Make power connections to a power source that is isolated from the
engine start battery(s). Voltage drops may cause the instrument to lose
information and/or change operating mode.
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.
