RIM 300 Installation

The RIM 300 will replace the power cable that came with your display

unit. Your RIM 300 has three cables branching out from the cable plug,

which include: radar data cable, display unit power cable and NMEA
2000 power cable.
NOTE:

You will need to purchase a SIMRAD heading sensor for the Radar

Overlay feature to work properly.

You MUST remove the power cable that came with your unit and

replace it with the RIM 300 to complete this installation.
WARNING:

Even though the RIM 300 is replacing your original
power/data cable, you must follow the same rules, cau-

tions and warnings for powering the display unit and a

NMEA 2000 network or LGC-3000 antenna module. These
details are described in the display unit manual and the

LGC-3000 instruction sheet. Failure to follow all power

connection instructions and fusing requirements could
result in damage to your equipment and injury to you.

The RIM 300 radar data cable is connected to the radar processor. Ra-

dar processor installation is covered in the Radar Installation manual.

1. The RIM 300 works from a 12-volt DC battery system. The display
unit power cable has four wires: red, black, blue and green. You will use
