Wiring Harness Connections
All connections are made along the lower end panel of the MM80-HR. The
14-pin plug with wire leads is used to make power and speaker related
connections. Carefully plan the layout of your system prior to routing wires and
making connections. Refer to the table below when making connections.
Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery post connection and secure
the disconnected cable to prevent accidental reconnection.
This is an essential safety precaution during installation!
Label Wire Color Connection
POWER
+12V DC
Red
Connect to the positive (+12V) battery post. Always
install an appropriate fuse within 18 inches (45 cm) of
a +12V connection. If this is the only device using the
connection point, use a 15 amp fuse.
IGNITION
+12V DC
Yellow
Connect to a switched positive (+12V) source. This can be
an ignition controlled, accessory circuit or a vessel battery
equipped with a main disconnect switch. Always install
an appropriate fuse within 18 inches (45 cm) of a +12V
connection. If this is the only device using the connection
point, use a 5 amp fuse.
GROUND Black
Connect to a clean, solid metal grounding point or to the
NEGATIVE battery post. Ideally, the +12V DC and Ground
connections of the source unit and amplifiers should be
made at the same location to minimize noise.
AMPLIFIER ON Blue/White
This wire provides a positive (+12V) turn-on voltage to
activate aftermarket amplifiers.

Product Description
The MM80-HR is a hideaway marine source unit designed for use with NMEA
2000® networks. Audio system control functionality is provided using compatible
multi-function displays (MFD) and can vary by MFD. Refer to your MFD
manufacturer for device compatibility information.
Installation Applications
This product is designed for operation with 12 volt, negative-ground electrical
systems. Using this product in systems with positive ground and/or voltages
other than 12V may result in damage to the product and will void the warranty.
This product is not certified or approved for use in aircraft.
Safety Considerations
• Install this product in a dry, well-ventilated location that does not interfere with
other vessel safety or electronic devices.
• While this product is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be
submerged under water or exposed to heavy spray/splashing.
• Do not mount this product in the engine compartment or in any areas of
extreme heat.
• Securely mount this product so that it does not come loose in the
event of a collision/sudden jolt or as a result of repeated vibrations during
normal operation.
• Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into an exterior
panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness, or other vital system.
• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath the vessel. This is an extremely
dangerous practice, which can result in severe damage/injury.
• Protect all system wires from sharp edges (metal, fiberglass, etc.) by
carefully routing them, tying them down and using grommets and loom
where appropriate.
• Secure all wiring as needed, using cable ties or wire clamps to protect them
from moving parts and sharp edges.
Control Functions
Audio system control functionality of your MM80-HR is provided using
compatible multi-function displays (MFD) and can vary by MFD. Refer to your
MFD manufacturer for device compatibility information.
Panel Connections
Remaining connection points are designed to interface with audio equipment,
media devices and vessel networks. Depending on your specific equipment,
you may or may not use all of the connections. Carefully plan the layout of your
system prior to routing wires and making connections. Refer to the table below
for additional info.
