4 Wire the radar system
Always install a separate circuit breaker or separate fuse for the radar system circuit.
4.1 Wiring guidelines
Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring the radar:
ƒ DON'T make sharp bends in the cables.
ƒ DON'T run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors.
but
ƒ DO make drip and service loops.
ƒ DO use cable ties to keep the cables tidy and secure.
ƒ DO seal and protect all wiring connections if cables are shortened, lengthened, or re-
terminated.
ƒ DO leave room to easily access, install and remove cables.
4.2 Connect the 2 kW interconnection cable (NS003101) to the scanner
If you have the NS004790R standard 2 kW radar system, the scanner is supplied with the 49 ft (15 m)
interconnection cable (NS003100) already connected and you can ignore this section.
If you have the NS004790M alternative radar system and have ordered the longer 65.5 ft (20 m)
interconnection cable (NS003101), follow the guidelines in this section to connect the two items.
