MOUNTING THE GR200 The GR200 is designed to be mounted in several different ways to enable it to be installed in the most convenient position. The GR200 is designed to meet IP55 Standard (Refer: www.gme.net.au/IPRatings). A location should be selected which provides the best viewing angle for the display. For best results select a location that is free from excessive vibration and continuous direct sunlight.
ELECTRICAL WIRING The GR200 is suitable for either negative or positive ground systems. NOTE: The GR200 has an over voltage detector to indicate when excessive voltage is being applied to the radio. The over voltage detector is triggered when the voltage being applied to the power leads exceeds 18 volts DC. If this happens, the words ‘hi dc’ will flash on the display. If the voltage exceeds 21 volts DC, the radio will automatically shut down.
The GR200 is supplied with two speaker adapter leads which are designed to accept the standard bullet connectors found on some GME marine speakers and most marine and automotive speaker cables. The plugs on the speaker adapters plug into the matching the sockets on the rear of the GR200. The plugs are fitted with protective flexible covers. When connecting the speakers, observe the correct polarity as shown in the diagram. Incorrect polarity will result in a reduction of bass response and stereo effect.
