Power Connection
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect the yellow, red, and
black wires to the power source.
The yellow and red wires have different
functions, and the method you use to connect them to power depends on
how you plan to use the stereo on your vessel.
Yellow wire
• This wire provides power to the stereo.
• This wire should be connected through a 15A circuit breaker, if one is
available on the vessel.
NOTICE
If a 15A circuit breaker is not available on the vessel, you must
connect this wire to power through a 15A fuse (not included).
• This wire provides power to the stereo at all times, and it will drain
the battery even when the stereo is not in use. You should install a
manual switch on this wire if a 15A circuit breaker is not available on
the vessel, or if you cannot toggle the breaker to remove power to the
stereo when storing the vessel.
•
If it is necessary to extend this wire, use 14AWG (2.08mm
2
) wire. For
extensions longer than 1m (3ft.), use 12AWG (3.31mm
²
) wire.
Red wire
• This wire can be connected to the same power source as the yellow
wire through the ignition or through a manual switch. This enables you
to turn the stereo on and off automatically when you turn the vessel
on and off, or when you activate the switch.
• Using this wire to turn the stereo on and off behaves in the same way
as using the power button on the stereo to turn it on and off. It is
not necessary to connect this wire to a switch if you plan to toggle
the power using the power button on the stereo or using a connected
chartplotter or remote control. This wire must be connected to turn
the stereo on.
• When you turn off the stereo using this switch or the power button, it
enters a standby mode that allows the stereo to start up again faster
than if you switch the power off using the yellow wire. When it is in
standby mode, the stereo uses up to 200mA, and you must turn off
power to the stereo on the yellow wire through the circuit breaker or
manual switch when you are not using the vessel to avoid draining the
battery.
•
NOTICE
You must connect this wire to power through a 1A fuse (not
included), whether or not you connect it to the ignition or manual
switch.
• If it is necessary to extend this wire, use 22AWG (0.33mm
2
) wire.
Black wire
•
This is the ground wire, and you must connect it to the negative
terminal of the power source or to a common ground.
• If it is necessary to extend this wire, use 14AWG (2.08mm
2
) wire. For
extensions longer than 1m (3ft.), use 12AWG (3.31mm
²
) wire.
Connecting to Power Without Using an Ignition Switch
This method of connection is used most often on larger vessels and on
vessels with multiple networked stereos and other marine devices. For these
installations, a faster startup time is typically less critical, and it is more
effective to use the breaker or a dedicated switch on the electrical panel to
turn off the stereo and ensure that no unexpected power drain occurs.
1 Consult this diagram to plan the wire connections.
Item Description Notes
Yellow wire
You should connect this wire to the red wire
before you connect both wires to the manual
switch or circuit breaker.
Red wire
You should connect this wire to the yellow wire
so that it does not act as a physical standby
switch.
1 A fuse (not
included)
You must install this fuse on the red wire before
you connect the red wire to the yellow wire.
Manual switch
(optional)
This switch is needed only if a circuit breaker is
not available or if it provides a more convenient
method of cutting power to the stereo.
Black wire Ground (-)
15 A fuse (not
included)
This fuse is required if you are not able to
connect to power through a 15A circuit breaker
.
15 A circuit breaker
If a circuit breaker is not available, you must
connect a 15A fuse on the yellow wire
2 Route all wires to the stereo wiring harness, the circuit breaker or switch,
and the power source as necessary.
Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until after you have made
all of the bare wire connections.
3 Install all of the necessary fuses on the red and yellow wires.
4 Connect the wiring harness to the stereo.
When the circuit breaker or manual switch is closed, the stereo is always on.
You can use the power button on the stereo or a connected chartplotter or
remote control to place the stereo in a low-power standby mode if needed.
NOTE: When you are not using the vessel, you should remove power to
the stereo using the circuit breaker or manual switch to avoid draining the
battery.
